We nod slightly as we pass in the halls, wave a quick acknowledgment from across the lobby or parking lot, but that’s the extent of interaction most people have with their neighbors. One definition for neighbor is “a person who shows kindliness or helpfulness toward his or her fellow humans“, yet we seem to have reservations about talking to our neighbors, let alone borrowing a cup of sugar or an egg like we would have years ago. These days, it’s more like no-way-bors! We are missing out on potential friendships, on building community and feeling like we’re part of something. Not to mention the possibilities for resource sharing!
