It is important for us to live at peace with everyone around us. Even more so to be at peace with our neighbor.
"He who belittles and despises his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding keeps silent." Proverbs 11:12, Amplified
If we are to at odds with our neighbor then we may as well invite destruction upon ourselves. Our neighbor may be the only earthly protection that we have. To love your neighbor as yourself is the second most important commandment. We do so that we may dwell safely here on the earth. A good an friendly neighbor will ward off any thieves or other dangers in our absence. To endanger that by openly despising our neighbor is unwise. A wise man, however, nurtures that relationship no matter the heart of his neighbor. Who knows, we may be the only link to the Lord that they will ever experience.
