Authentic-Love can be shown only in the context of an Authentic-Personal-Relationship; but not in the Perpetual-Absence of Authentic-Personal-Vulnerability within Authentic-Personal-Relationships wherein True-Lovers-Let-Go of Hopes for Total- Invulnerability. So it is that Authentic-Love is shown within the context of Letting-Go of Affirmations of Respect for Hoping for Total- and-Eternal Invulnerability - - - in the manner of Domineering-Bullies and Mobbing-Mobsters with their Competitions-over- Concentrations of Wealth-and-Powers. Authentic-Love Cannot-be-Shown-or-Demonstrated in the Total-Absence of - - - True-Lovers who know how to Resist-Domineering-Bullies' Compulsive-Preoccupations with - - - Unilaterally-Perpetuating-Their-Hopes for Achieving-Perpetual-Total-Invulnerability - - - Through the Frequent-Use-of-Alienative-Techniques - - - Within Alienative-Conflicts within which they use and abuse - - - Extreme-Concentrations of Wealth-and-Powers - - - Which they Totally-Revere as Idolators who are living in Total-Alienation-and-Insecurity. The Honored-Good-Samaritan ( an alienated-outcast ) did not ask his Neighbor-In-Need - - - To show that he, who was in need, fulfilled some qualification-tests, before giving substantial help and promises - - - of more-help in the future - - - without there being any signed contract about repayment in the future. When Jesus told the above parable, the Domineering-Religious-Leader had just asked him who their "Neighbor was that who was qualified to be loved." The answer which Jesus gave in his parable was TABOO in the view of the Domineering-Religious- Leaders of Jesus' Day - - - because they were Playing-Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception about who was qualified to be loved by them. The story was exceedingly offensive, but how could they object to the telling of a story?
