Have You Ever Traced The Journey Of Your Life?

I live in chutz la’aretz. Am I required to leave peah in my backyard vegetable patch? Is there a requirement to leave leket, shich’cha and peah in your field today? The attached article will help you answer the attached questions.

Such an explicit declaration of apparent self-congratulation requires explanation, as it appears to be going on a limb and being boastful. Can/should a person really announce that he did everything he was supposed to?

I built my house years before the next-door property was developed, with an approximately meter-high wall between properties. My property is 2 meters higher than the next one; now they are excavating to build the other house, there will be a 5-meter drop, which I feel makes it dangerous for my children. [He seems to be building according to the permit he received.] My neighbor had agreed to pay for raising the wall, but now is unwilling to pay the significant cost. We cordially disagree whether it is his obligation. Have I misjudged the matter?
