There was a time when people lived their lives as a part of the society. And the most important of it was the immediate neighbourhood. Our neighbours used to be the people who made us live happily. But now days we think of our neighbours in terms of what comforts they can give us in sheer material terms and seldom about what we can share/enjoy with each other.
A big change that has taken place is the perception that our material needs should drive our relationships with our neighbours and not social/emotional/intellectual/spiritual ones.
As a result, our relationships are getting one-dimensional with material needs assuming the highest priority. So it’s high time that we worked for solutions that last long enough for making our relationships transcend generations. Let’s not build walls of indifference between neighbourhoods but bridges of mutual trust, faith and understanding.
