Re: [TruthTalk] Love your neighbor as yourself

In the context of the parable, I am thinking the "neighbor" is not someone who lives down the street but someone who is in need.   (?)

Terry, I lived for 30 years in the suburbs and knew fewer of my neighbors than I know here in the city after just 4 years.  The suburbs were snobbish and cold.  Itâs a much friendlier place for a variety of reasons.  Closer proximity.  Not separated by vast lawns and electric garage door openers and private back yards.  Here we walk to the local restaurants, shops, and Forest Park.  Last night my 12 yr old daughter and I spent an entire evening with our dog eating outside at a couple of restaurants (one for dinner, and another for ice cream J ) and reading and talking and people watching, and in the process made the acquaintance of several new people from all over.  I LOVE city life.  Izzy
