  1. good samaritan

    A Good Samaritan refers to a kind-hearted person who helps others, particularly those in distress or difficult situations, without expecting anything in return. This term originates from a biblical parable where a Samaritan helps a beaten and robbed traveler he sees lying by the side of the road, displaying compassion and kindness. The term is used more broadly today to reflect acts of selflessness, goodwill and humanitarianism.
