💨 Abstract
The author recounts instances of meeting strangers in distress, such as an elderly man grieving his wife and a woman abused by her partner. These encounters inspired the author to volunteer with Samaritans, helping others in crisis. The author emphasizes the importance of simple gestures like asking "How are you?" to potentially save lives. On World Suicide Prevention Day, the author urges people to connect with others and offer a listening ear.
