Guo //Law #3 – Help people Although the man demonstrates as a good father, no cannibalism, and carrying the fire but he is not an ideal “good guy” because he refuses to help others. In contrast, the boy shows great empathy to tragic people and is willing to help them.

must have all been murderers. The Jewish people despised the Samaritans. So, the Samaritans returned the hatred and anger toward the Jewish people.

The Samaritans lived a difficult life with so much hate pressed upon their backs, which followed them like a shadow, never leaving their side. It was a constant reminder that the Jewish people hated them. To make it all worse,…
