Week 2 - Neighbors I don't like. Ever notice it is easier to be neighborly to people you like? Duh! That’s not the challenge, is it? It’s dealing with difficult people that tests our neighborliness. How do you deal with difficult, unlovable weirdos? Do you deal with them? Or do you avoid, isolate, move on? It’s not enough to say, “Don’t do that.” What we need is hearts that are big enough for people who rub us the wrong way and strategies that build bridges. It’s time to talk and time to practice.
