“Love thy
neighbor”, says one of the Ten Commandments in the Bible.
Love is
patient, it overlooks the shortcomings of others, it forgives and it covers
everything. When we love someone, we would never do anything to harm him/her,
rather would try to do only the best for the person.
The
principle is applicable in our day to day lives.
When we
park our cars, do we consider the inconvenience it might create to others?
If we love
our neighbors, we would think many times before creating that noise pollution
while celebrating our cultural functions using unnecessarily noisy sound
systems that rob many a person of their sleep which is their natural right.
If we love
our neighbors, we would not throw that garbage on the road, on the roadside.
The Principle becomes more important for people living in Flats sharing many
common facilities.
The list of
examples is endless.
The change
must come from within. Such a change in attitude can only change our surroundings,
our society and our world.
