In earlier posts I penned a few words on the meaning of neighbour. I concluded it was not limited by specific geographical areas but, as in the words 'love your neighbour' it encompasses all humanity, namely people. Recently I came upon a Facebook page 'Sad Jesus'. It promotes the following statement:
Neighbour is not a geographic term, it is a moral concept.
The page administrator got quite upset when I noted that humans are people, real people, not concepts moral or otherwise. We do not love moral concepts as neighbours, we love people wherever they are, whether known to us or not.
