Maintaining good relations with those around us is sometimes difficult. Just as we wish for peace in our homes and workplaces, we wish to have ideal relationships with our neighbors.
Are you fighting with your neighbors? Make an effort to improve your relationship with each other and you will be rewarded!
We don\’t choose our families, nor do we choose our co-workers or neighbors. But we all know that bad relationships, whether in the family or at work, never bring good results. The same is true of our relationships with our neighbors. Fighting or teasing your neighbors is not a good way to live. After all, a good relationship with one\’s neighbors makes life more pleasant. How can we pamper our neighbors without offending them? Sometimes it\’s really hard, but it\’s worth it to be with them.
Mutual respect and harmony
So many neighbor disputes have gone to court. This may come as a surprise, but it is a fact. Sometimes, disputes between neighbors cannot be resolved amicably and develop into long, almost endless disputes that must be settled in court. Such cases, however, are borderline and can be avoided. As long as there is no dispute over a shared driveway or a neighbor\’s apple tree encroaching on one\’s yard, it is possible to have a good relationship with one\’s neighbor. Sometimes you have to respect them, though, and sometimes you have to make concessions. Neighbors can be annoyed by a crying baby, a child playing around the house, or a whimpering dog. They often get upset that the other person smokes when they don\’t, or argue over who should or should not have cleaned the common areas. But basically these are trivial matters.
It is important to respect that both parties have rights. Dogs bark, children cry. Anything else is negotiable. Try to be kind from the start, smile at your neighbors, and if you can, chat or at least exchange greetings when you see each other, for example in front of the elevator. Smiling facilitates relationships. It also helps when solving problems.
Follow the rules
Know that the most important thing is to keep the peace at night. From 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., the house must be quiet at all times. As long as there are no loud parties or loud music playing in the middle of the night, everyone should be able to sleep soundly. However, sometimes it is the little things that bother people. Have you ever left your shoes outside your front door and your neighbors think you have too many shoes? Let me explain why. Try agreeing to always put the shoe rack behind the hallway door out of the way. And through mutual agreement and friendly gestures, you are on the road to better neighborly relations.
