Is it hard to love thy neighbour? I find it very hard - but i think it's worth trying. What do u think?

Sometimes it is very hard.\n\nI admit that sometimes I just pack it in and figure being painfully polite is the best I can do.  Usually that only happens when my acts and/or expressions of love and acceptance have been rejected.  There's only so much I can take.\n\nI don't ever *hate* them, though.  I just give up and let them do their thing and I do mine.\n\nedit -- george, you used to call *me* princess.  Sniff, sniff...  : )\n.

My friends and I were just talking about this last night...We have came to the conclusion that Love is a very strong word.  So many people today believe that they are in love, but love is to give unconditionally... love is putting someone elses needs before your own.  I have thought I was in love 2 times, I am now divorced with three kids and I can honestly say I have never loved anyone the way I love my children... If you can honestly say to your self that I would die for them  I mean being truthful to yourself and saying I would die for you... that's love... and I have never felt that way before.... and you don't have to be in love to be with someone...if you enjoy the company why say it's over... just enjoy your life  you only have one.

I know it is hard, but you just can't give up on love. It is not good for you. Love brings happiness. I know that it can be scary but that is just half the fun of it, right.

No, I don't because both my neighbors on either side of me are strange.  On the one side are new neighbors who moved in a couple of months ago.  Besides never waving or smiling back at me, they have a collection of life-size dog statues all over their front porch and lawn.  Not a couple, but about twenty or so.  The first time I saw them, I thought they were real and I was scared to death to walk down the street.  On my other side is a real wacko.  He's either very religious or satanic, I'm not sure which one.  I can hear him shouting phrases that sound like they came from the Bible.  He sounds angry.  One time, and this is the honest truth, we actually heard him shouting, over and over again, "I am NOT Ozzy Osbourne"  "I am NOT Ozzy Osbourne".  I'm not making this up.  It's all true.  And my husband wonders why I don't like being here alone.

I don't think everyone is capable of really loving someone, totally selfless, when the other person's happiness is the most important thing, and not yours.\n\nSo, unfortunetly, i would say no...

'love is a sickness and marriage may cure it, but the side affects are dreadful and possibly not worth living for!'\n\nI claim credit for this one and this is a better more realistic quote! what do you think?

I wanted to start by saying that I am a Christian.\n\nPeople who are non-Christians are not going to feel better after reading your post. This post comes across as the same pushiness that people don't like anyway. I understand that you believe very strongly, as do I, but please find a new way to share the love of God. This just seems pushy and it almost sounds like you think you are better than the "poor unsaved people."\n\nGod bless you though for trying!

Like the Bible says ' love thy neighbour as thyself ' .

If you're filled with the Holy Spirit you won't have to try.\nIt does not say to do what YOU think is loving your neighbor.\n The Word says to do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.\n That is what i do.\n\nTo understand more, click here...\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/bibletruths_forbelievers/

I see a lot of people who dont respect their own or other marriages, it's sad. I feel that if one finds that "special person" they will, no matter what, respect that other person. AS it is said, Love never fails.

By being supportive and remembering I fell in love with that person they way they are...not the way I wish to change them. As a country...Love the good and try to change/understand the practices that seem wrong. It's not black & white/cut & dried. We're all connected on one planet. Tolerance is crucial.

My favorite uncle died of throat cancer! Our situation was similar, he lived next door but I strayed away in his final days. I regret it too but I always try and remember him doing the good times and all the funny jokes he told. I search for the positives in his life and think of those times. I also strive to do well for I feel that he's watching me and wants me to do well in life.

your relationship sounds like true love. some people never find that. yes they get married and live together but thats nothing if like you said, your not honest and trusting. it does seem simple. but somethings are worth fighting for.

we must remember that it is our duty to not to disturb the neighbour, and this should be the feeling of every neighbour. im so lucky that my neighbour are happy with me and they are with me. i treat other person as i wish to be treated. so try to teach them this message with kindness.and hopefully they will understand your expressions.

Yes, I am happy with my soul mate, lover, best friend, husband of 28 years!!  And I love the life I lead!  Have we had problems?--yes, will we continue to have stress and troubles?--yes, but will we get through them?  Yes.  How do I know?  Because we are not in our relationship or life alone, we are joined by God Almighty, so all is well.  And I pray for the same for all of you.

I have not known much kindness in my life.Broken home;then Viet Nam;and 15 yrs. on the streets of New York.However,I am not sure I understand the concept of LOVE;at least as practiced in modern urban life.I do,however,beleive in kindness.It is such a simple act,but so many people are afraid of it.I practice it every chance I get on a variety of levels.It doesn't always work;but the times it does is more than compensating.The key,which seems to go against human nature,is:TO EXPECT NOTHING IN RETURN"
