Whats your experience when your neighbour who competes with you in things you possess. I had a neighbour who would buy a new pair of boxers the next day after finding a new one on my waist. Was wondering what he would do if I bought a private jet. grin

That's just plain childish....
Never had any reason to compete with any neighbour so far and never will!
Even if my neighbour were to be competing with me,i won't even know it.I'm too busy for nonsense!

i think humans have a subconscious habit of surreptitiously or openly copying others.

but when it comes to buying the same underwear as your neighbour- dont know about that.


I'd move.

and @ op

how does your neighbour know when you're wearing new boxers. And how do you know when your neighbour is wearing his own boxers.

why are you guys (?) checking out each other's underwear?

Dude, the problem is you. You should stop monitoring what your neighbor sees and do not see.

Not true. I for one dont copy people. I do my thing. I am a maverick in that regards.

Tpia, how was your trip to Nigeria?

Have you found a husband, that is just as hideous?

Re: Competing With Neighbours by Nobody: 12:08pm On Sep 23, 2012
As the Reverend father said today, If you must compete with anyone then compete in service to others and in doing good. Compete in how many children through you go to bed with food in their stomachs, compete in how many sick people in the hospital have their prayers answered through you and your material and spiritual prayers, compete in how many children go to school get school books, shoes and clothes because you cared enough. Dont compete in vain things, because they can only give you temporary satisfaction, when it is all said and done, God will only judge us on what we did for others. Matt 25:36, not how many cars, the height of our fences, the latest gold, shoes and bags we wore.
So if you and your neighbor want to raise muscles, this is a good way to go, compete in doing good

The boxers example is just a tip of the iceberg, was using it to show the little things neighbours compete with, let alone when it comes to a bigger ones; when I launched my new car, my said neighbour lobbied his oga in his office to release one of the unbranded cars for some assignments. He actually brought the car home and used it for one week. When subsequently I asked about the car, he said he sold it and had paid for another one.

We need to stop looking at our neighbours achievements with envy, but thank God for them and even congratulate them so that ours will come.

Admin/ moderator should hit this thread on the front page; people are being led astray and we need to enlighten them.
