Several years ago my young daughter and I moved into the upstairs apartment where we now live. While my loving, wonderful friends helped me move in, the downstairs neighbors began to complain about the noise. That did not mean well for living above them. After all, how can anyone move in quietly?
As I suspected, the complaints continued on a daily basis. We walked “too loudly” down the
2/11
stairs, we flushed the toilet too much ... Their child had problems with my child and they complained to me as well.
I soon learned that they had driven out the last few families who had lived above them. So I had the information I needed and I tried to think of the situation from a spiritual point of view.
I wish I could walk in peace. Whenever they called or came to the door with a complaint, no matter how ridiculous, I simply listened and acknowledged that I heard them. It was kind of funny watching their confused reactions. They simply couldn't get a negative reaction out of me.
Of course, at times it was tough to keep my feeling but my daughter and I stood on. I told my daughter that we were going to be pleasant and allow them to sit by themselves in their own troubled situation. I explained to my daughter that they were very unhappy people and probably felt powerless in their lives. As a result they were always looking for a fight.
I continued smiling and greeting them as I saw them, much to their confusion. Quite too often, I ended up helping them. They thanked me but they didn't really know what to think of it.
Well, that obviously did the trick. All I know is that the next time I saw my neighbors they were all smiles and friendliness. It totally caught me off guard but I smiled back and we had a brief but pleasant conversation.
Ever since then they have been very pleasant neighbors. I've got to know them better and to even enjoy their dogs and their sense of humor.
