Starfish
I don't have much to say. All I have to say was that this was a bad week. I've been really bitchy and emotional to other people because of my own problems, but I feel really bad because that is so unfair to them.
This is a little story that I found somewhere. I thought that it was cute.
One morning very early, a man was walking along the beach just as the sun was rising. While enjoying the fresh world about him, he glanced down the beach and saw a lone figure dancing about.
Fascinated by the beauty of this other person celebrating dawn, he instinctively moved closer. As he came nearer, he realized that the young man was not dancing at all, but rather, in one graceful movement, picking objects up from the beach and was tossing them out into the sea. As he approached the young man, much to his surprise he saw that the objects were starfish.
"Why in the world are you throwing starfish into the water?"
"If the starfish get caught on the beach when the tide goes out, the sun will burn them up, they will die," replied the young man as he continued tossing them out to the sea.
"That's ridiculous! There are hundreds of miles of beach here and millions of starfish. You can't believe that what you are doing could possibly make a difference!"
The young man picked up another starfish, paused thoughtfully and remarked as he tossed it out into the waves, "It makes a difference to this one."
