I think the "punch line" is "Go and do thou likewise," so I think the parable says we don't HAVE neighbors, we MAKE neighbors.And if the Gospel is, ahem, catholic (that is, universal), then we have a command, a duty, to show mercy to every one.
Whaddya say?
Works for me.
I don’t know, I make all my neighbors stay on their land and leave me alone nowadays, lol
