A wise teacher was talking to a gathering of people when a lawyer stood up to test his knowledge. He asked, “How can I live forever?” The teacher responded by asking him what is written in the law and if he has read the law. Knowing the teacher was a religious man he quoted from the law of Moses, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” The wise teacher affirmed that he had answered correctly and told the lawyer, if he would do it, he would live. The lawyer wasn’t satisfied and still wanted to test the teacher so he asked him another question, “And who is my neighbor?”
