The town or subdivision I live is such a friendly/unfriendly neighborhood. Been living here for 10 years, some neighbors are very friendly and some aren't. But I always say hi and good morning to all my neighbors when I see them outside. Sometimes we rake leaves at the same time, and I make sure that I say hi to them while waving my hand. You can't please everbody, but I always do my part by showing them my compassion.
