I just edited and didn't see the next page and above post. It loves the neighbour by example, toward peace.
how exactly can one love their neighbor if one believes they are separated from their neighbor..?
the passages i submitted does present a conundrum IF neighbor is to mean everyone and not like minded people

Every human relationship is unique and different so an analogy in a neighbour situation will not work. Another analogy would be better, A parent cares for their children and if junior comes home with a failure in conduct, the parent loves the youngster and when desert time comes, he or she gets NO ice cream on their hot apple pie. People in general will not force themselves on another, if a neighbour situation comes along with bad conduct, regard and respect can be communicated while keeping more private, showing a lack of freedom to the certain personality, subdued joy for a time , honesty
Every situation is different and requires moderation, good will and an impression which is complimentary by demonstrating an effect another has on self. Common sense usually helps things change, example in other words . All relationships are constantly changing. love thy neighbour by example in moderation, moderation in many things self absorbed for instance is often the cause and the required example.

you seem to be imagining what being a parent is...and this is irrelevant to the argument in the OP..
does neighbor mean everyone or like minded people....?
since we are discussing "love your neighbor", a famous tenant jesus stipulated for his followers to follow in order to attain the keys to the kingdom, does neighbor mean "everyone" or those who are fellow believers in jesus claims?

love thy neighbour for the believer refers to the soul of the neighbour, people are understood to have a soul which is infinite. If a neighbour is a nasty person, they would have covered somewhat soul, little true joy in sharring possible although good attention and genuine regard for their being.
It means everyone in relation to the sanctification of their soul. ( Love thy neighbour as thyself.

where in the bible does it say this?

so you are assuming someone is nasty for the sake of being nasty...
not because they lost their job, a girlfriend, their house...it's just because they want to be nasty...
aren't you being presumptuous?

explain how replacing a son with an enemy would be for the purpose of sanctifying the sons soul...sure looks like rejection to me...matthew 10:34-36
