The Neighborhood

They said, no man is an island, and no man stands alone. That is why we need to have neighbors. During my childhood, I lived in a rural place where the neighborhood knew each other. That time, the place was not yet been developed. We used fire-woods for cooking and we have to fetch water from the common spring. The life was simple yet memorable. When my mother prepared food and we didn't have match to start a fire, we just simply asked fire from the neighborhood and vice versa. As time gone by, progress moved fast and people changed. Now, you can no longer rely on your neighbors. You cannot even trust them. This is the sad reality. Sometimes, they are the once who pulls you down or push you to the pit of destruction. I don't know what's going on with them. I don't know if the progress has something to do with the changes of the neighborhood.
