Make a summary ofthe given passage 
One cannot choose everything in life. Nowhere is this more applicable than when it comes to
the kind of neighbours one ends up with. It is simply a matter in the hands of God. If one is
lucky enough, one may be blessed with neighbours who are ready to help and share problems
and can be depended upon in times of need. On the other hand, some of us have to put up
with a bunch of troublemakers-neighbours who have nothing better to do than to be too
interested in what is going on at the house next door and who are always eager to create an
unpleasant scene or commotion. The truth is, one cannot really isolate oneself completely
27
from the people around. The tie between man and society is not only age-old but essential
for the survival of man. For an individual, the mere fact of the existence of the society is a
strong reason for feeling secure. As our neighbours are the people dwelling closest to us, we
cannot naturally avoid communicating and socializing with them. Constant interaction among
neighbours is all the more inevitable nowadays as a result of the large number of flats
mushrooming in suburbs, towns and cities. The flat system has brought people closer to each
other especially as they are required to share public facilities like the car parking space, the
elevators and the garbage disposal arrangement. In such cases, people cannot help but bump
into each other while going to and fro.
Moreover who else can we depend upon when suddenly confronted with problems and
requiring help especially in case of an emergency? Only our neighbours can respond quickly
and save the situation. For instance, if a burglar were to suddenly attack your house, would
you not cry out for help hoping that your neighbours would hear you and come to your
rescue? And, if possible, would windows or loitering by their front doors with a hungry
gleam in their eyes, keeping a lookout for everything that might be happening next door. Such
people are a great nuisance, for everyone has a right to privacy. Gossiping among neighbours
about each other and mainly those who are not ready to join them in their chats is another
irritating problem. Half-truths and total lies are exchanged and rumors thrown around - all
these just because of their curiosity and carving for excitement. Sometimes neighbours can
totally refuse to cooperate and break the unity of the neighborhood. In extreme cases,
neighbours, for what would seem a trivial mistake, get ready to shake their fists and create an
uproar.
Often misunderstanding cause neighbours to view each other as sworn enemies. In this fastpaced life we lead today, there is not much time available for leisure. Most of the time one is
involved in some kind of work or the other. People who are loaded with work from morning to
evening cannot be expected to pay social calls or frequently visit their neighbours for
friendly chats. This is generally mistaken as a sign of total disrespect for social norms and
obligations. Neighbours need to understand that it is not necessary to pour attention over
each other in order to be good neighbours.
One cannot do away with one’s neighbours however bad they may be. At the same time, one
cannot live without trustworthy neighbours who would be concerned enough to help in times of
distress. Each one of us must ensure that we act as good neighbours. It would be good to
remember that we should do unto our neighboursjust as we would expect themto do unto us
