The Apostle Paul observed that even some pagans practice Love Thy Neighbor (e.g., Romans 2: 14-15). Indeed, it can be found in a number of ancient and modern cultures.
There is a recent period Chinese drama series where the conflict between Might Makes Right organizations and a Might For Right counterweight is portrayed brilliantly: ”Heroes” (Heroes (TV Series 2022– )
8.0 | Action, Adventure, History ; available, e.g., on Amazon Prime).
Two of the three spheres of power—Ministry of Justice and Six-Half House—conspire for power, wealth, and prestige. The third—Sunset Drizzle—evinces two principles: Benevolence and Righteousness. The two houses rely on superb martial arts to exert force, except for Six-Half House the end justifies the means whereas for Sunset Drizzle it does not, and force is exerted only on behalf of the two principles.
Benevolence appears to translate in caring for those unable to care for themselves, and Righteousness is definitely employed to defend the weak.
These are two of the three main characteristics of Love Thy Neighbor. The third characteristic—embracing the nuclear family and chastity for both sexes until marriage—is clearly stated, but taken as a given.
Not surprisingly, there are “good apples” even in the bad house, and vice versa.
Blessings.
