Another name for someone who selflessly helps others.
This term originates from the parable told by Jesus in the Bible about a Samaritan (a man from a country called Samaria) who helps out a Jewish man who is ambushed by theives and left to die. This was all the more selfless of an act considering that the Jewish and Samaritan people in those times usually did not associate with each other. This story was told in response to a question concerning the scriptural mandate to "love thy neighbor as thyself". According to the story, a man asked "Who is my neighbor?" and the moral of the parable is that everyone is really your neighbor (meaning you should help anyone you see in need).
Today a Good Samaritan is usually someone who goes out on a limb to help others, even if they are complete strangers.

Ex. An anonymous good Samaritan rescued a child from the river yesterday, but left the area before he could be thanked.

Get the Good Samaritan mug.by NorseAztec May 1, 2009
Get the Sicario mug.First published in 1977 after being constructed from J.R.R. Tolkien's notes by his son Christopher, The Silmarillion contains much of the history of Middle-Earth before the events of the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings. It is perhaps best thought of in terms of a modern history book constructed from several contradictory sources penned by people with agendas and bad filings systems; containing conjecture, racial stereotypes, claims of religious superiority, a lot of things ending in -ism, and the idea that Fingon was Gil-Galad's father.
Excluding the foreword, index of names and appendix, the book is divided into five main segments; Ainulindalë, Valaquenta, Quenta Silmarillion, Akallabêth, and Of The Rings Of Power And The Third Age.
Warning: contains conlangs and tears unnumbered.

While reading The Silmarillion people often cry themselves to sleep over the deaths of their favourite characters.

She super intelligent and amazingly beautiful. Shes a lover of God. She’s short and feisty so beware. She’s spoiled too and loves to be loved the way she loves hard. She’s a hopeless romantic. She’s so amazing one definition couldn’t describe her you will need an entire book. She’s thick, funny, loves to laugh and has so much talent. People regret mistreating her and always regret their actions. Her energy and vibe is everything only when she fools with you.
