ANNOYING VISITORS

Pr 25:17 Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house— too much of you, and he will hate you.

People vary in the degree to which they can put up being around others and the degree to which they desire privacy. In particular the more extroverted my not realize how they may be damaging their relationships by their constant demand for attention. Even within families or other circumstances in which people are living together, too much time together can make people be an annoyance to one another. So consider whether your relationships may not be less annoying by introducing some privacy.

On the other extreme it says, "A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; He rages against all wise judgment." Pr 18:1 It is not wise to be completely isolated. For "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!" Ecc 4:9,10

While practicing hospitality is to be part of the Christian life, the person being subject to hospitality should likewise consider whether they are themselves being hospitable or unnecessarily overstaying their welcome.
