We don't like everybody but we are told to love them....Can you do it?
After doing all that, why would one decline to visit them?You dont make friends with them, nor hug them every time you see them. You do pray for them, if they are broken down at the side of the highway, you stop and offer assistance. If they invite you to there household, you politely decline.
