God himself commands us to “love your neighbor as yourself.” Everyone on Earth is everyone's neighbor, therefore commanding everyone to love even the bitterest enemies. Consider the parable of the Good Samaritan. A Jew (Henry, 753) was walking down a road and was ambushed by thieves who took all his possessions and beat him half to death, leaving him to die on the side of the road. Two men considered among the most righteous in their city passed by the dying man. However, a Samaritan, who was a sworn enemy of the Jews (Henry, 753), stopped and gave the man medical attention using expensive wines and oils on his wounds. The Samaritan then put him on his own donkey and took him to an inn, and left the equivalent of two days' wages for the innkeeper to use to care for the man ( " GOOD "). This Samaritan had no reason to help him; in fact, it would have been acceptable if he had just finished this man off, as they were bitter enemies. However, the Samaritan had love in his heart and obeyed the commandments of the moral law even though he had no reason to do so and could not afford to do so either. What we can learn from the Good Samaritan is that doing what is right often corresponds to the moral law, and that intervention is part of the definition of what to do.
