I think we are in a weird spot right now - with the one hand there being a need to have the freedom to stretch themselves a bit and on the other hand the need to be considerate of others. I think we also live far too closely to each other than we need to. Not that having a neighbor an acre away would do that much to eliminate the lawn mower noise but it would reduce it a bit..
I think sadly there’s so many variables at play and so much of it is just fighting. Perhaps the neighbor just got in a fight with his wife and needed to blow off some steam. Perhaps it’s his coping mechanism. Too many variables lol.
I do know that we need to find better boundaries but also have to be careful that we don’t turn into a bunch of pussies. The people who scream at any inconvenience are in far greater supply than ever before and that’s also dangerous because almost everything sets them off.
Regardless though, some communication is always nice and helpful! Don’t know how the lawn mower would’ve resolved with communication but certainly camping and other places a quick hello and check goes a long way!
I'm not sure that it's space from each other we need. People used to live in tribes after all. We just need to be considerate and raise our kids to be considerate.
Saying that, it's nice to have space. I like living in five acres for a reason. And I think you're right, talking helps.
I'm not sure what you mean by this.
