Jesus Christ Himself is reading this thread.
“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy might. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.”
Of course, there are always the “neighbors from hell.” :D
Even the tax collectors love their nice neighbors~ Matthew 5:46

Does this mean I have to stop making silly attempts at jokes?
You have to see the misery beneath the ugliness and then love the heck out of ‘em.
I also see the fear in them sometimes. “What if I’m not right..?” That’s the unspoken unthought fear that grips them. There’s an obsessiveness underneath that compels me to pity.
