Make A Difference, However How Little by lonipeter(m): 11:08am On Nov 20, 2012 |
A young man was walking down a deserted Mexican beach at sunset. As he walked along, he began to see another man in the distance. As he grew nearer, he noticed that the local native kept leaning down, picking something up and throwing it out into the water. Time and again he kept hurling things out into the ocean. As the man approached even closer, he noticed that the native was picking up starfish that had washed up on the beach, and, one at a time, he was throwing them back into the water. The man was puzzled. He approached the native and said. "Good evening, friend. I was wondering what you are doing." "I'm throwing these starfish back into the ocean. You see its low tide right now and all these starfish have been washed up onto the shore. If I dont throw them back into the sea, they'll die up here from lack of oxygen." "I understand," the man replied, "but there must be thousands of starfish on this beach. You can't possibly get to all of them. There are simply too many. And don't you realize this is probably happening on hundreds of beaches all up and down this coast. Can't you see that you can't possibly make a difference?" The local native smiled, bent down and picked up yet another starfish, and as he threw it back into the sea, he replied, "Made a difference to that one!" Moral: Do your part, it makes a difference! |
