It does make the difference Once upon a time, there was a wise 👳🏼‍♂️ man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of 🚶🏻‍♂️ walking on the beach before he began his work One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a 🕺🏼 dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a 👨🏻 young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small 🐚objects, and throwing them into the ocean He came closer still and called out "Good 🙏🏼 morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?" The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing 🐡 starfish into the ocean" "I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat 🤔 startled wise man To this, the young 👨🏻‍🦱 man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die" Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, "But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles ⏩ and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!" At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another 🐡 starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, "It made a difference for that one"
