For Their Neighbors

The hardest housekeeping in the
world is the housekeeping that
people do for their neighbors.
Half the troubles we have are
caused by worrying about what
people think. What difference does
it make, anyway? No one can live
his own life and two or three other
peoples lives besides. What's the
use of setting up housekeeping on
the roof or on the outside walls for
the benefit of the neighbors? You
would rightly be judged insane if
you suggested anything of the kind,
and that is practically what half
the people do. They can't do this
because the neighbors talk, and
they can't do that because the
neighbors would wonder if they
could not afford to do something
else. They may not say it in so
many words, but they mean it, and
it is simply great big vacuum in
some of our natures where moral
courage ought to be. Half the
sting of poverty or small means is
gone when one keeps house for
himself and not for his neighbors.
