Summary/Abstract: To discuss hospitality towards strangers is a useful and useful exercise if we want a social construction as close as possible to what is happening in contemporary society. There is a temptation for the subject to be used by various players on the social and political scene for their own interests and not for the good of the subjects raised. History has witnessed many situations where people have acted with hidden interests and therefore there is a need for an open and honest dialogue on the subject so that in the end the outcome is translated into useful actions for those in difficult situations. The national interest must not lead to blindness towards those who need help, and this is because the situation can be reversed and at some point the one who was in the situation of being a host may end up needing to be welcomed as a guest. In this context, the biblical saying‚ whatever you would have people do to you, do to them’ is highly topical and directly applicable.
