"There is an old story about a boy who comes upon a beach that is covered in starfish, hundreds, thousands of them washed up on the shore. It’s an appalling, tragic sight, and on the verge of tears, **he begins to throw them, one by one, back into the sea**. “It doesn’t matter,” an adult tells him. “**You’ll never even make a dent in this**.” “**It matters to this starfish**,” the boy says, as he rescues another one." --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[idealism]], [[kindness]], [[forgiveness]], [[personal-values]] **Source** -- [[202409180127 - B - Right Thing, Right Now]]
