If we begin with the parable of the good Samaritan and who we walk past, is neutrality a state of passivity or an active state? Does neutrality mean that we can watch wrong being done and not take part? Does it mean that we have a moral responsibility to defend the weak? What does it mean in communist, socialist or Christian terms, or just plain common sense? Where do we find ourselves in defining neutrality? Where is our framework of reference? What objectives are we trying to achieve? How do we see ourselves contributing to the globe? This is the island of saints and scholars which sent people all over the world at various times in our history. How do we do it today? What is our motivation? What is the dynamism we create as a country and where does it lead us?
