I see three types. Those seeking privacy and guarding property lines, those willing to help when asked, and those willing to help without being asked. Where are you with that? Where am I? Am I willing if I am expected to help? How about when you get nothing in return or are taken advantage of? Do you stop being a neighbor to them? Where does my neighborhood stop? Or does it?
Am I looking and listening for opportunities to help others out? Am I working on building a better community? Do my neighbors consider me a benefit to their quality of life? I know that for me, these are things that I need to work on. How about you? Something to think about…
A Policeman came to my door yesterday and asked, “Where were you between four and six?” So I said, "Probably in kindergarten or first grade.” A man seating on a window seat discovered two engines on fire. He began to holler, two engines on fire! Two engines on fire! The passengers began to panic. Suddenly the pilot ran from the cockpit with a parachute on his back. “Don’t worry”! He yelled. I’m going for help! A doctor in a teaching hospital was discussing an X-ray with his students. “This patient has been walking with a pronounced limp for some time,” he said. “The X-ray shows us his fibula and tibia are radically arched.” He pointed to a student. “You…what would you do in this case?” “Well, gee!” said student. I guess I’d limp, too.”
