How would you feel if you were the traveler in the parable of the Good Samaritan, robbed, abused, beaten, and left for dead on the side of the road?  

How would you feel if you were subjected to robbery, abuse, and violence day after day for years?  

How would you feel if priests, ministers, and neighbors passed you by, ignoring your pain and suffering?  

How would you feel if, after years of being robbed, abused, beaten, tortured, and left debilitated, someone came by not to help you up but to kick you while you were down, injured, covered in parasites, and in serious need of medical attention?  

How would you feel if those same things were to happen to you?
