You're no good Samaritan.

In our day, that phrase, good Samaritan, has become something very different than what Jesus

kind of originally intended for it to be.

If you look it up in the dictionary or even in the urban dictionary, it's got its own urban dictionary thing.

It's more basically something anyone does that's nice for a stranger unnecessarily.

Now, obviously, there are people who do incredibly heroic things for strangers.

People they don't know.

People will never be rewarded by.

You think about firefighters and first responders and paramedics.

I have a good friend who literally jumps out of, repels out of helicopters into floods
