Text : A cry for help
Man was not made to live alone. He wants to live and be loved. The need is so strong
that some who feel condemned to loneliness don’t want to go on living because life
appears meaningless to them.Suicide is the fourth commonest cause of death in Great
Britain. In other countries of the industrialized West : it is an even more common cause.
Until 1963, the number of suicide was rising in Britain . It was in that year that a
voluntary organization called the ‘ Samaritans ‘ was founded. Since 1963, the number of
suicides has been falling.The Samaritans are ordinary people from all walks of life. They
give up part of their spare time every week to help people who want to ‘put on it all ‘.
(…). If you are thinking of suicide you can ring them any hour of the day or night.
