Do You Love Your Neighbors?

People are social beings who thrive with others. Even if we say that we do not need others in our lives, still we do.

Isn’t it that a saying goes: “No man is an island”?

Do you like your neighborhood? Do you like your neighbors?

My answer:

NO. I do not like my neighborhood nor my neighbors.

You see, once upon a time, this neighborhood was a good one, according to hubby who spent several childhood years in the house we are currently staying in.

During the years they spent not living in this house, the once clear and clean river a block away became a squatters’ haven.

Not that I have anything against them but if the children from that place play in front of your yard everyday? Not to mention the noise and the things they do with the plants there? Not to mention that “gangs” or “frats” writing on the gates, groups running after one another? Well, that is another story.

Oh, there are those who are not ashamed to talk to each other in a manner that you would think those being talked to are far away when in fact they are just within earshot of a whisper.

We have trees on the side of the house and they think its a privilege for them to put up their table tennis under these trees and play with matching shouting and heckling.

I ask them to keep it down, ako pa ang masama.

If I have the power to transport us to another place, I would have done that a long time ago.

I hope your neighborhood and neighbors are better. Better singers too when they sing loudly using the karaoke.

Yup, that bad.

So in that note, i just do not like to think that they are multiplying fast.
