Neighbors are the people who live near us. In your opinion, what are the qualities of a good neighbor

Icon10_1920.jpgPeople live in different places, as some of us are residents of a countryside and others occupy apartments in large cities. Anyway, all of us have at least one neighbor. Therefore, it is important to define essential characteristics of great neighbors. In my view, good neighbors have to be both respectful and supportive. There are a few reasons why I hold this opinion.
First of all, respectful neighbors make our lives less stressful. Nowadays, people are extremely busy at their workplaces, furthermore, a lot of us have families to take care about. We make a lot of efforts to be professional employees in order to keep our jobs, and we try our best to be wonderful spouses and parents. All these efforts take an enormous amount of energy to accomplish them, so when we come home, we want to chill out in a quiet environment. In this case, it is important to have respectful neighbors, who are not very noisy because they understand that people who live around them need some rest. For instance, when I lived in an apartment in Moscow and had a physically hard job, I had a neighbor who always played loud music even late at night, which did not let me relax after overwhelming days. Moreover, it made me even more stressed out and exhausted. That is why having a neighbor who cares about people around him is pivotal for me.
Secondly, supportive neighbors can help us when we need it in emergency moments. Sometimes, when people face unexpected situations, the only ones who can assist them instantly are those who live nearby. My own experience is a compelling example of this. When I was a student, I spent a summer in my pregnant sisters house. When at one night, she started delivering a baby, her husband was out of a town, and at that moment, I did not have a drivers license, so I could not transport her to a hospital. Therefore, I ran to my sisters neighbor to ask him to take the young suffering woman to a hospital, and this kind gentleman helped us without a hesitation. As a result, my sister delivered a baby in a medical facility, and her labors were assisted by professionals. In this way, neighbors who are able to support us in an emergency situation are the ones who I would like to live next to.
To conclude, I strongly believe that the hallmarks of an excellent neighbor are respectfulness and supportiveness. This is because it allows us to feel comfortable in our homes and aids us in urgent circumstances.
is lucky to have a good neighbor as much as unfortunate to have a bad one. Nowadays, the people who live near us are mostly not friends by choice, nor relatives by birth, but are probably acquaintances by chance. We are blessed by having righteous neighbors who do not act like strangers or become enemies. In our view, a righteous neighbor is often associated with such virtues as tolerance and respect, and help and love.

Without mutual tolerance and mutual respect, neighbors are not likely to live at peace. A good neighbor exercises self-respect, doing the right thing so as not to annoy people living next door. By so doing, he or she may be responded in kind. A common mistake is invading into the private life of any neighbor, as if people were surrounded by voluntary spies in the neighborhood. Side by side with respect is tolerance of short-comings of neighbors as our own. When sometimes things turn out to be unbearable, for instance, a noisy party, nothing makes us more tolerant than being there. In fact, neighbors are a constant reality to be coped with carefully. They are supposed to be close enough, yet still good fences make good neighbors.

One advantage among good neighbors is that they can help and love each other, nearer than most relatives and friends at a distance. Indeed, a helping hand from a good neighbor cannot be replaced even by the impersonal hand of government that is often late in coming. The urgent needs among close neighbors must not be neglected. An unselfish act is akin to neighborly love, of course. People of any religious faith are taught to love their neighbors without envy or discrimination——friends or otherwise alike. Mutual help and mutual love should necessarily be key to being good neighbors.
