Passing The Responsibility
Because his neighbors insisted that he pay for all of the bills without participating, David became outraged! Switching to asphalt might not have been a horrible idea, but David was upset and refused to pay for everything himself. His own daughter reported that his father and his neighbors had been feuding since she was a child! “Everybody here is a complete nutjob,” He said.

Passing The Responsibility
A Gesture Of Goodwill
Because he was so lovely and had so much goodwill, David was the only one who worried about the gravel on the road. He had no obligation to fix it all himself because it was not his property, yet he did. No one offered to help. His daughter was fed up with the squabbles. His father was upset that no one seemed to notice what he was doing; instead, his neighbors sought to take advantage of his nice manners, but he would not be stepped on.
