There
was a man taking a morning wa lk at or the beach. He saw that along
with the morning tide came hundreds of starfish and when the tide
receded, they were left behind and with the morning sun rays, they would
die. The tide was fresh and the starfish were alive. The man took a few
steps, picked one and threw it into the water. He did that repeatedly.
Right behind him there was another person who couldn't understand what
this man was doing. He caught up with him and asked, "What are you
doing? There are hundreds of starfish. How many can you help? What
difference does it make?" This man did not reply, took two more steps,
picked up another one, threw it into the water, and said, "It makes a
difference to this one."
What
difference are we making? Big or small, it does not matter. If everyone
made a small difference, we'd end up with a big difference, wouldn't
we?
