Love Thy Neighbor

Neighbors are those people you see in any TV serials as those  who come to your house when you have just moved in, to greet you or simply at times to butt in your personal life and create havoc.
In reality neighbors aren't like that,
If you do have memories of your neighbors like the ones I described then I feel bad for you,
Well in truth I don't, but the feels..it's something,
 Luckily the neighbors that I have aren't bad or intrusive but nice and seldom do I get to see them
It's not that I don't socialize with them, I do but not too much,
I do have friends beyond the ones in the society where I live but then I don't get to meet them every time I go out.
I have unfortunately watched some Bollywood movies where the neighbors weren't that friendly at all but the only goal in their life was to make yours miserable.
I didn't get what they achieved through it but i'm sure the feeling wasn't quite that orgasmic as they expressed in the movies,
In real life neighbors are a funny breed and unlike your family members they don't ask too much personal questions that'd make you blush and avoid it,
In India the meaning of neighbor is quite different really,
Here they are supposed to be the unofficial members of our family and are even proud to claim so
Unless you're loaded then your best friend is none other than your neighbor,
In some places your neighbors are actually your relatives, who couldn't bear to stay away from your family and to show that they support you live as your neighbors,
Some people buy a home far away just to escape those members of their family but it doesn't work as those relatives are quite rich and can move to any place in the world they want but prefer to settle next to your home.
Another thing is that you can't pick your neighbors, unlike an arranged marriage where you do have an option of choosing your other half.
But having a neighbor whether noisy or not is much better an option than living in an isolated place with no neighbors or any life forms,
People claim that they don't need neighbors and live on their own but really miss the company of anyone, mostly to complain about something.
The best thing is that in reality no neighbor will come up to you and tell you how to live your life better, as if we live a miserable life.
If someone does come up to you telling you how life works and how yours should be better I think a certain type of violence would be a good example of the consequences of telling people how to live their lives.
Then there are times when you can't live without your neighbor and vice versa.
Those are the times when your neighbor is your best friend and or a really hot chick you always dreamt of dating.
They are really lucky, those people, they'd never leave their homes unless that chick is out,
And there are some movies based on these type of neighbors and whatever happens in it is never going to happen in real life, 
If it does happen, then wow they have achieved their purpose in life, which until recently was to get a nice paying job and a duplex home.
Well, in the end your neighbor is either your best friend or enemy or a relative or a hot girl, they are your neighbor and will remain until either of you get a new house (in the case of that hot chick, you won't move until you find out she is already dating someone) and find another neighbor.
