Do you love thy neighbor Or try and keep up with the Joneses?

Loving your neighbor is, then you could borrow from the Joneses.

Neither.

I tolerate my neighbor, and believe that good fences make good neighbors. I keep my nose out of his or her business, and demand they do the same.

My neighbors are pretty cool. Here's a secret: The Joneses are financially broke from spending so much money to try and have the 'best of everything'.

I hear a little bit of metaphor in there the word jonesing can refer not only to trying to keep up with what everybody else has but with an alcohol and drug habit when you don't have alcohol and drugs then you're jonesing withdrawal symptoms in other words. Unfortunately there are a lot of people that have drug habits and share those drug habits with their neighbors! And if you have such a drug habit sharing your drug habit with your neighbor does not show any love for them.

My neighbor long moved away and I have an empty house but I do very well with the people that I associate with and demonstrate Christian love as best as I possibly can

(Exodus 20:17) “You must not desire your fellow man’s house. You must not desire your fellow man’s wife nor his slave man nor his slave girl nor his bull nor his donkey nor anything that belongs to your fellow man.” (Deuteronomy 5:21) “‘Neither must you desire your fellow man’s wife. Neither must you selfishly desire your fellow man’s house nor his field nor his slave man nor his slave girl nor his bull nor his donkey nor anything that belongs to your fellow man.’

Embodied in the last commandment, “You must not desire” or “selfishly crave” what is your fellow man’s, is the principle, “Safeguard your heart; for out of it are the sources of life.” That is why Jesus said: “Out of the heart come wicked reasonings, murders, adulteries, fornications, thieveries, false testimonies, blasphemies.” If we guard our heart there will be no danger of our coveting that which belongs to our neighbor or committing any of the immoral acts Jesus here mentions.

Far from doing that, we will be keeping an eye “in personal interest upon” the affairs of others, seeking that which will be to their advantage. Then, also, instead of coveting the honor that another receives, we will “in showing honor to one another take the lead.”—Ex. 20:17; Deut. 5:21; Prov. 4:23; Matt. 15:19; 1 Cor. 10:24; Phil. 2:4; Rom. 12:10.

Truly, even though we as Christians “are not under law but under undeserved kindness,” the Ten Commandments are part of the things written aforetime for our instruction, because the principles embodied in the Decalogue are ever valid. “If you know these things, happy you are if you do them.”—John 13:17.

WE WAVE TO THEM BUT I MIND MY OWN BUSINESS...I AM NOT WORRIED ABOUT KEEPING up with others...wrong assumptions

No, I try to keep up with Dilshoda Nurmukhammed.

Think, you can't take it with you.

i dropped away from the stigma of a materialistic society, basically the book of mormon says don't labor for money because those that do will perish
