Speaking of dumping one's virtues... I'm reading The Tipping Point. They have a hilarious story about a study done on unwitting divinity students. The poor dears were given a task to read a scriptural text and give a report on it in another building. Unbeknownst to the subjects The Good Samaritan thing was being played out between Site A and Site B. A groaning, apparently suffering man was placed on the path from A to B. The two tier experiment had one variable as subject of theme and the other strata was degree of being rushed from point A to B. The funny thing is that the subject of the theme had no bearing on the reaction of the participant. 10% of those rushed stop to help the man, 63% who felt unrushed aided the suffering man. One man, who actually stepped over the groaning man to delivery his report. The theme, the Good Samaritan!!
