Samaritans-The Good, bad and ugly

Samaritans come in bundles. The good Samaritan, Gospel of Luke, is hard to find. Most Samaritans are either bad or ugly.

Bad Samaritans exploit countries under the pretext of 'development'. Zimbabwe had another taste of the bad Samaritan during ESAP.

The ugly is, however, also local breed. Come election season, ugly Samaritans promise the moon. Voters are given gifts when they need real progress or taking to the inn.

Good Samaritans don't promise, but deliver. Good Samaritans take a nation toward real progress; they don't take their own people for a ride. Politicians of no value, typical empty vessels, make the most noise.
