One day a man was walking on a beach at low tide. All the way up and down the beach, for as far as he could see, there were starfish washed up on the shore, left to die by the receding water.

As he walked along the water’s edge, he saw a little boy bending down, picking up the starfish, and throwing them back into the ocean.

As the man approached the little boy, he said, “Why do you waste your time trying to save these starfish? Don’t you see that what you are doing doesn’t matter, since there are too many for you to save them all?

With that, the little boy bent down, picked up a starfish and hurled it back into the ocean. He looked up at the man and said
It mattered
to that one.
