Who is my neighbour? (© 2008 Eileen Baker)

The Lie.

Who is my neighbour?

S/he who makes me feel comfortable;
S/he who sees the world as I do;
S/he who rejects what I reject;
S/he who finds injustice where I find it;
S/he who believes in what I believe in;
S/he who allows me to stay where I am.

Where are you?
What do you believe in?
Where do you find injustice?
What do you reject?
How do you see the world?
What makes you feel comfortable?

Are you free?

The Truth.

Who is my neighbour?

S/he who makes me feel uncomfortable;
S/he who sees the world as I do not;
S/he who does not reject what I reject;
S/he who finds injustice where I do not find it;
S/he who believes in what I do not believe in;
S/he who does not allow me to stay where I am.

Am I not free?
