Biblical Empathy Neighbor

More From George McGovern

I would never call a neighbor an enemy. but i would request the neighbor to be a good neighbor, to see that the neighbor's interest is a stable prosperous neighbor, a neighbor that is doing well.
Enemy Neighbor Interest
It is easier to love humanity as a whole than to love one's neighbor. ... some of the worst tyrannies of our day genuinely are "vowed" to the service of mankind, yet can function only by pitting neighbor against neighbor. the all-seeing eye of a totalitarian regime is usually the watchful eye of the next-door neighbor. in a communist state love of neighbor may be classed as counter-revolutionary.

Only the most unapologetic biblical fundamentalists, for instance, take every biblical injunction literally. if we all took all scripture at the same level of authority, then we would be more open to slavery, to the subjugation of women, to wider use of stoning. jesus himself spoke out frequently against divorce in the strongest of terms.
Jesus Divorce Biblical
Beneficence is a duty. he who frequently practices it, and sees his benevolent intentions realized, at length comes really to love him to whom he has done good. when, therefore, it is said, "thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," it is not meant, thou shalt love him first and do him good in consequence of that love, but, thou shalt do good to thy neighbor; and this thy beneficence will engender in thee that love to mankind which is the fulness and consummation of the inclination to do good.

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor. would you be mine? could you be mine?... it's a neighborly day in this beauty wood, a neighborly day for a beauty. would you be mine? could you be mine?... i've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you. i've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you. so, let's make the most of this beautiful day. since we're together we might as well say: would you be mine? could you be mine? won't you be my neighbor? won't you please, won't you please? please won't you be my neighbor?

If thou neglectest thy love to thy neighbor, in vain thou professest thy love to god; for by thy love to god, the love to thy neighbor is begotten, and by the love to thy neighbor thy love to god is nourished.

Character Deeds Done Charity
And whereas many men, by accident unevitable, become unable to maintain themselves by their labour; they ought not to be left to the charity of private persons; but to be provided for, (as far-forth as the necessities of nature require,) by the lawes of the common-wealth. for as it is unchariablenesse in any man, to neglect the impotent; so it is in the soveraign of a common-wealth, to expose them to the hazard of such uncertain charity.
