How do you help your neighbour?
How do you help your neighbor?Since your question is vague in regards to what kind of “help” the neighbor needs, I will respond generally to how I help neighbors who live in a close proximity or who are in close relation to me.Generally, I will wait for someone to share their need because I mind my own business and do not give unsolicited advice. If I witness an urgent matter, I will share information or offer to help. Otherwise, I help people to help themselves. In the past, I would take on a lot of projects in an attempt to help others and I had two distinct outcomes in all cases, because as far as I am concerned, there are two very distinct groups of people in the world, which can be grouped as GIVERS or TAKERS.1. Givers, who will listen, who care enough to make a difference, who attempt to assist, give their time, money and efforts, etc. in your time of need. They also appreciate the good that is extended to them and reciprocate when you have a need.2. Then there are the Takers of the world. They feel the world owes them and they take everything for granted. They do not have time to assist because they are absorbed in their own world of needs, they constantly complain about everything, they make excuses about why they cannot step up to the plate, etc., and help you. If you help them once, they will return with more needs for you to resolve. They will not be there when you need them, but will always call on you when they have a need. They may utter the words, “I appreciate it,” but in reality it is only a lip service that will not be followed up by any action. Takers are looking for you to take on their problems and solve them.Therefore, to create a balance, I help people to help themselves. I realize that people appreciate more of that which is not handed to them, then that which is given freely.
Why should we help our neighbours?
Because no person is an island. We live in communities, and the history of mankind has shown that we manage best when we help each other along the way. We do not all possess the same talents and skills as everyone else. What we have is specific to ourselves, and for a community to make strides and make progress it is important that we interact not just at the family/domestic level, but at the communal/societal level. Unfortunately many first world countries that have become fixated with materialism have very little time for anything else but accumulation of material things and wealth. Remove those two from society and what you have left is very little to speak about. Do you think you could get by on your own, all the time? You are probably not doing so at the moment. My guess is that you might be posing this question from a position of privilege, and privileged people tend to have this attitude about those less fortunate than themselves, that everyone should help themselves and not rely on or hope that someone might come to their assistance. They might be right in assuming that, but how does such an attitude make a contribution?
Should we help our neighbors?
Yup. The best reason is because they are deserving of help if they need it or ask it. And that’s for two reasons. They are an amazing phenomenon on earth, an amazing kind of being, raised above their hairless ape level by the ability to understand and set purposes. They deserve help as fitting to their worth. It allows them to maintain their worth in functioning at that level. And second, because they are co-creators and participants in the moral system. We owe each other respectful and concerned treatment. These are the two main orientations to each other, respect and cocern—and showing it.The two main ethical traditions, Kantian and Utilitarian take this position, one because we have a special duty to people close to us (and I do mean close) and we are obliged to advance the good at no great cost. Helping one neighbor is no big deal. As the number increases, the cost may be significant and the obligation weaker. The only two traditions that may not support this view is libertairanism and ethical egoism, if that counts as a serious ethic. But egosism would likely support helping your neighbor as a good investment to get helped in return. That would apply to the libertarian as well since there is no rights issue involved. Helping each other is to mutual benefit. And if not force or strictly obligated to help, no libertarian problem. And libertarians need that to get people to respect their rights, which itself is a form of cooperation.Not helping your neighbor, especially when asked, closes off a likely source of help.The three Abrahamic religions with the addition of buddhism and Hinduism as I recall it have specific prescriptions to help neighbors. So does Confucius among the many duties that belief system posits. Christianity says to love thy neighbor as thyself. Helping likely requires less. The golden rule comes in to help.
What do you and your neighbours do to help each other?
My last house shared a lawn with the one next to it. There was a friendly, elderly couple in the other house. We, without ever discussing it, would naturally help each other out.If someone was mowing their lawn, they’d mow the entire bit. If someone was raking up their fallen leaves, they’d rake the entire bit.It was such a sweet bond, whereas my current neighbors don’t even bother to acknowledge my presence.
What should you do if your neighbor hates you?
When I was a child we called all the adults in the neighborhood Aunt so n so or uncle so n so. no one family hated the other. These days I don't know any of my neighbors and the neighbor directly across from us hates us for some totally unknown reason (bi-racial couple is the only thing we can think of). We ignore each other, only thing we can do. (over the years we extended offers to help (carry in a large stove, offered shelter when when their neighbors condo caught fire when Mrs was standing outside in winter with her new born infant in her hands—-offers either declined or ignored).Only thing you can do is put your neighbor on ignore. Unless of course you feel yourself to be in danger. Then contact the authorities….or move!Good luck!
How can I help my neighbour get a servant online?
While the present time is not very neighborly in the sense that people do not get much time to get along, sometimes the chemistry just clicks, and you get along with the neighbors. This aspect is very important especially for the people who are moving into a new place. As they have to adjust themselves to the new surroundings and the environment, it acts as an incentive if the neighbors come out to help in the small daily battles; finding a servant is one of those battles and a pretty harsh one as well.When a new person comes to the neighborhood, their understanding about the suitable websites like Just Jobs operating in the area is limited. Therefore, the first and foremost thing to do is to provide them with anecdotes about the operative websites in the area.Some websites also take the credit scores of the employers before allotting them any candidates. In such cases, the already enrolled members can vouch for the neighbors in form of referrals or invites to the community. This would eventually speed up the process.There are also some social media groups operating at the local level that take an interest in providing the options for servants to the community members. One can help the neighbors by getting them added to these social groups. As this improves the social interaction between the community members, the chances of getting a suitable worker obviously increases.If above solutions doesn’t works out, you may recommend them to contact various labor/servant providing agencies working in your area.Helping the neighbors in getting the servants easily is probably the noblest thing one can do in the present urban scenario. It can also be the reason of a long lasting personal bonding.
What should I do if my neighbour is old and lonely but says they don’t need help?
One of the troubles of growing older is our increased reliance on others. This can often lead to us feeling worthless and a burden on our family, friends, and neighbors. People want to be useful, not a burden.If you needed to be picked up from work because your car was in the shop, you would call a friend. That’s what friends do. We take care of each other. We do for them and they do for us.If you want to help your neighbor, be a friend. Ask them to bake cookies for your son’s class, because you ‘just don’t have the time’. Include a few “thank you so much. You’re a life saver.” You just gave them purpose and that means so much more than helping them with their groceries. Can they pick up your mail or water your plants when you go away for a few days? Maybe they can feed your dog or cat. It could be a simple drop in and ask for a coffee because you ‘have to get away from everything for a minute’ and let that minute be a chat.Once they recognize you as a friend instead of another person that wants to help, I’m sure they will be more receptive to your offers to help.
My neighbors hardly let their dog out?
My neighbors hardly let their dog out but when they do they set it by a Bush right outside their door and literally yell at it to go tot the bathroom until it does. Never once seen them walk their dog. is their something I can do to help the poor thing ? I don’t believe they abuse it but it’s sad it hardly sees the day light
Can you please help me stop neighbour's ham radio from talking over my movies?
Yes, you can purchase a signal filter at any Radio Shack, there about 5 or 6 bucks, and they do a very nice job. When I did HAM many years ago i bought them for all my immediate neighbors as a good will gesture and it did wonders. But thats where. PS. Inteference yes, just have to find out what meter wave length he is broadcasting at, and send him signals when hes on the air.
