You need JavaScript enabled to view it There are in the world, in every country, people who seem to be ‘ordinary’ but who turn out to be ‘extraordinary’. They can usually save lives. How? They give the sad person their total attention. They completely forget themselves. They listen...And listen... without interrupting. They beam approvingly or shake their heads sympathetically. After a long time, they say, ‘ please tell me more’. If asked for advice, they say, ‘ you’re the only person who can advise you well – What do you think you should do?’ They do not preach. They have nothing to sell. We call them Samaritans – Could you be one? Chad Varah, founder of Samaritans. |
