Good Samaritan
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.

Sharita
One who is wise, a perfectionist, appreciates stability, and finds responsibility. Always learning from experience, walking away with the lesson, seldom to repeat it. Likes time alone and exploring the spirituality of life. Excellent worth ethic, and the applied efforts grow into a fruitful harvest over time that will be remembered for all eternity. Needs to remember, however, to play a little more and lighten-up the sense of humor. The derivative of "little Shara" in Spanish.

bad samaritan
When someone intervenes in a situation and makes things worse. For example, you are in a store and it's suddenly taken over by robbers. Instead of surrendering or stopping the robbers, you offer to help them rob the store. That would be a bad samaritan, a very bad samaritan.
