neighborly love
Caring for others
Neighborly love is goodwill and care extended to those around you—not necessarily close friends or family, but the people you encounter in daily life.
The phrase echoes religious teachings about loving one's neighbor, suggesting kindness without expectation of return: The community showed real neighborly love after the fire.
It implies warmth that transcends mere politeness.
