Despite negative feelings towards this person, who is now elderly and without family, the writer grapples with feelings of guilt for ignoring him. The case is made for expressing kindness and checking on him, emphasizing that past grievances should not prevent acts of compassion. The importance of positivity and loving one's neighbor is reinforced, suggesting that there is value in overcoming animosities for the sake of goodwill.
You should be kind to him. The universe has placed him squarely in your path, right next to your sister's house.
