“When strangers start acting like neighbors... communities are reinvigorated.”
— Ralph Nader

Simplified Meaning:
When people who don't know each other start behaving like friendly neighbors, the whole group becomes stronger and more lively. For example, think about a new person who moves into an apartment building and begins saying hello to everyone and inviting them over for tea. Soon, others in the building feel more connected and more willing to help each other out. This creates a sense of trust and shared responsibility. By being kind and open to those around us, we can turn any place into a supportive community where people feel welcomed and cared for. This kind of behavior can make our neighborhoods happier and more enjoyable places to live.
