How do personal or political relations become “neighbourly”?? Who is overseeing our neighbourhood watch? ?Who determines the scales of our neighbourhoods—local, regional, national, cultural, religious, spiritual, ecological? ?Is not a central tragedy of our times?the perception of our differences as?disproportionately more important than our similarities?
