Neighbor (or neighbour) either one ;-)

This passage seems to suggest the Samaritan was the neighbor while the other two were not.  The sentence "love thy neighbor as thyself" seems then to imply he (the victim of robbers) need only love the Samaritan and not the other 2, and similarly, since they were not the the victim's neighbor, did not have to love the victim.  Then we are to love only those people who are neighbors to us (I don't mean physical neighbors), not everyone?  Although true it does not say "do not love those who are not your neighbors" but it doesn't say to love them either.
