Summary

This quote by Martin Luther King Jr. highlights the stark contrast in the thought processes of different individuals when faced with helping others. The priest and the Levite prioritize their own safety and well-being, leading them to question the potential consequences of assisting someone in need. On the other hand, the good Samaritan approaches the situation with a selfless perspective, considering the potential harm befalling the person if left unaided. This quote encourages us to shift our focus from personal concerns to the impact of our actions on others, promoting compassion and empathy as the driving forces behind our willingness to help.
