Love thy neighbour despite hostility


I MOVED into my link house eight years ago. Initially, my relationship with my neighbour was quite cordial but it has turned so bitter that we do not even greet each other and have no eye contact at all now.

It started when she put a cone stuffed with cement to demarcate the space outside our houses so that I would not encroach into her “territory” when I parked my car outside my house. She confronted me once when I inadvertently parked my car beyond the mark. When that happened, I told her it was not her land and she retorted that it was not mine either.
