Analysis-Parables ?Q?:Why do We restrict/Deny Knowledge of These to our 'BigFellas'? Preamble: When Jahovah lived as a Sapien on the 3rdPlanetOfSol 1987 years ago He instructed us in His Viewpoint/Way of reasoning using simple/easy-to-relate-to stories called"**Parables**" - Parable of the Good Samaritan: Notes/Analysis: Note here the example(a "Samaritan"-- an "unclean," reviled, looked-down-upon,tribe/group living in proximity to the Jewish people. That Jahovah used to explain/describe the essence of "a good neighbor." Now, a 'Phillistine' may reason that this makes no sense, A passerby should do the logical thing: Take advantage of the helplessness of the victim and abscond with any remaining money/valuables remaining on victim. But observe the deference paid to The "Golden Rule," and the appeal made to the higher cognitive Human capacity of Empathy-- ability to put oneself in another's position(even a hated 'Other'). Will be continued... With Jahovah's continued Blessings.
