2. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. (Love neighbor)

Three of the Ten Commandments that are most commonly neglected by the world.

1. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.
2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
3. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

The world would be a more spiritual place if people obeyed these commandments that are most commonly neglected. People need to be very careful not to worship worldly possessions such as clothes, houses, automobiles, educational degrees, titles held by him or herself, money, etc. We need to worship God only and not worship worldly items. In today's world it is not difficult to find people saying Heavenly Father's name in vain. Television or movies is a great example of where this happens a lot. We need to be careful of what we watch either on TV or at the movies. Good and wholesome movies and TV shows should be our first choice when viewing for entertainment. For some people Sunday is just another day to get work done or make money. It should not be like this because it is the Lord's day and should be a day of spiritual uplifting. No physical labor should be done on Sunday and each of us need to be fed spiritually. To sum up, the world would be a more peaceful and tranquil place if more people heeded to these commandments.
