And do you feel enough people apply it?

Loving thy neighbor means treating them with dignity and respect.But I don't have to love thy neighbors behavior though.lol
No, I don't think enough people apply it. I've been guilty of not applying it, myself.

I would interpret "Love Thy Neighbor" to mean that we should care about one another.
Sadly, I feel as tho not enough people apply the rule these days.

Love thy neighbor means that same thing as "Do unto others." This is the basic tenet of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Basically, our purpose on Earth is to take care of one another, especially those less fortunate than ourselves.
Do enough people apply it? Of course not. It's a goal, an ideal, something we strive for.

I think it means to accept, respect, and love everyone around you. Even the people you disagree with, the people that have done you wrong, or that you just don't like. It applies to every person. You can't love some people and condemn the rest. I don't think nearly enough people apply this.

love thy neighbor as thy self means that we need to treat people how we would like to be treated.and no I don't think enough people apply it to there lives today.But I think even if everybody dose not "love thy neighbor"that we should still try our best to.We need to be good examples and be the hands and feet of God.I hope I anwserd your question.

Do people apply it? I can't answer for all people, because it is impossible to group people like that, but I think it means you need to respect everyone as a person, not that you really have to LOVE everyone. I think many people apply it, but I also think many don't. Sorry I couldn't be more help

Everyone is your neighbor. I feel in this day and age too many
people are too busy to even take the time know others.

I would imagine it means to treat everyone with respect and the way that you would like to be treated. And no, not enough people apply that.
