In those days Jews considered Samaritans their inferiors in caste and did not treat them as their equals. The Samaritan helped the Jew when he was in danger. This is love. People set up charitable organizations in this world to help their own class of people. But Christianity teaches that one who needs help should certainly be helped and terms this quality as love.
Poverty is the severest tormentor of man kind.
A poor man is not respected by others and his words do not carry any weight. He thinks himself to be a small and unworthy person. A life expecting help of others always is miserable. A person who is helping a poor man to stand on his own legs, teaching him self-respect and teaching him to think and act independently is the real man. Without helping a brother or sister, who is without food or proper clothing, advising people to live in happiness and peace is the greatest fraud on the people.
