To Stare Or Wash Away The Blood

I trust that most of my readers are familiar with the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37). If you're not, to recap... well, I'll just transcribe it for you right here, I'm sure Jesus told it better than I ever could:

³⁰Jesus replied and said, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead. ³¹"And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.³²"Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.³³"But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion,³⁴and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. ³⁵"On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.'³⁶"Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers' hands?"³⁷And he said, "The one who showed mercy toward him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do the same (NASB)."

Now, then, picture this: a man is similarly beaten and left for dead on the side of a road. Someone walking down the road takes note of this man, and looks at the him, obviously in need of help. This person passing by approaches the man and says to him "It looks like you've been hurt... but just because you've had one bad experience doesn't mean we're all like that."

And then they keep right on walking.

I don't think there are any good Samaritans in this world... and if there are, they certainly aren't female.
