The
Samaritan, a character in one of Jesus’s centuries-old biblical parables, brings
light to life’s challenges. It is easy
to focus attention on his assumed pain caused by being shoved in the cracks of
society. Ironically, a Samaritan's set
apart status inwardly invites great rewards. Though in the story he was aligned
with the afflicted, he found adversity as a bright and clear window for a compassionate
action toward another mistreated stranger like him. Others' indifference and non-acceptance of Samaritans,
wherever they may be in the world, do not only create a compulsion to right a
wrong. It likewise builds on the iniquity,
and makes it rise above challenges. That in itself isn't just a good outcome. It is far excellent!
