What makes a good neighbor?
Let me share one story from my eBook Quarantine Diaries and Beyond , I heard from a friend that reflects what neighbor should not be.
So, God visited the Earth and was looking at how various people live. He first spotted a man who was at his vineyard thinking. So God asked if there was anything to help and the man said yes! ” Can you please give me wisdom on how to proceed with my vineyard and produce grapes that will enable me to make the best wines in the world?” God said Yes, I can help you and left the place. After some time, the grandiose idea came to his mind, and he managed to start making the best French wines! Now it was the time for God to see a fisherman who was looking unsatisfied with his catch. So God asked if there is anything to do to make him satisfied? The fisherman said yes! Can you please help me to catch the biggest swordfish? The God was affirmative and left the place to listen to the happy voice of the fisherman who shouted: Oh my God, thank you, I got it! I catch the biggest swordfish!” Then, by proceeding further, God saw one man in despair sitting near his dead Donkey. God approached the man and asked if there was anything to do to help? The man looked at God and asked: ” what do you mean?” The God said,” my dear child I want to help you and if you would like I could resurrect your Donkey?!” The man, still in despair, said, “I do not want that!” So God asked: What is that you want instead?” The man, still in despair, calmly replied: ” I want you to kill my neighbor’s Donkey.”
Shocked? Don’t. That’s the part of the human nature, not inate, but insidiously promoted by the greedy, invisible, cunning, social engineering concept.
The good neighbour is the one who would be happy and inspired by his neighbour advance and happiness. Who would wish his neighbour to have many donkeys! It is simple! Jealousy kills while
Happiness shared is happiness doubled.
So, WAKE UP!
