Meaning
Someone who helps another in need for compassionate motives and with no thought of reward.
Origin
From the Biblical parable, Luke 10:30/33:
A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead...
But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him. He attended to his wounds and bandaged him. Took him to a nearby inn and took care of him...
Good Samaritan Dream
is based on this very virtue of compassionate love.
To reach out, to others in distress, especially emergency medical needs, at our own homes, our schools, our colleges, our workplace and even out on our busy streets.
