Some years ago, a young Korean boy took his weekly allowance and bought newspapers with it. Then he and some friends sold these on the streets of Seoul, Korea to raise money to help a fellow student who did not have sufficient funds to stay in school. This young man also gave part of his lunch to this boy each day so that he would not go hungry. Why did he do these things? Because he had been studying the story of the Good Samaritan and didn't just want to learn about the Good Samaritan, but wanted to know what it felt like to be one by doing what a Good Samaritan would do. Only after careful questioning by his father about his activities did he admit, but dad, every time I help my friend, I feel I'm becoming more like the Good Samaritan. Besides that, I want to help my classmates who aren't as fortunate as I. It is not that big of a thing I'm doing. I read about it in my seminary manual and felt it was the thing I ought to do. The boy did not ask, what is in it for me but for performing his kindness? In fact, he did it without any thought or recompense or recognition.
