Saving Starfish: A Lesson in Compassion

One day at the beach, a man encounters a boy who is diligently tossing starfish back into the ocean. Curious, the man asks the boy about his actions. The boy explains that the starfish will die if left on the shore. Although the man notices thousands of starfish along the beach, he questions the boy's efforts, believing it won't make a difference. Undeterred, the boy throws another starfish back into the water and replies, "It makes a difference to that one!" This moving story highlights the impact of individual actions in the face of larger problems.
