Made a difference to that one !
Many times when people talk about setting something right in this world , be it animal welfare or someone fighting against corruption or against global warming, we hear this comment 'Its beyond repair. Our doing this one thing is not going to make any difference. The world is going to hell. Everything will come to an end soon.. etc ' . Yes , we have to agree that the world is a mess.But would it make us happy just to accept this as a fact,and go about our lives not caring . Happiness is in the doing things, right ?, in working for any truth, any meaning that you believe in . And i hate the phrase 'Its not going to make any difference '. That reminds me of a story i read in a 'Chicken soup for the soul '.... and i just found it on the net..Here it is:
One At A Time
------------------
A friend of ours was walking down a deserted Mexican beach at sunset. As he walked along, he began to see another man in the distance. As he grew nearer, he noticed that the local native kept leaning down, picking something up and throwing it out into the water. Time and again he kept hurling things out into the ocean.
As our friend approached even closer, he noticed that the man was picking up starfish that had been washed up on the beach and, one at time, he was throwing them back into the water.
Our friend was puzzled. He approached the man and said, "Good evening, friend. I was wondering what you are doing."
"I'm throwing these starfish back into the ocean. You see, it's low tide right now and all of these starfish have been washed up onto the shore. If I don't throw them back into the sea, they'll die up here from lack of oxygen."
"I understand," my friend replied, "but there must be thousands of starfish on this beach. You can't possibly get to all of them. There are simply too many. And don't you realize this is probably happening on hundreds of beaches all up and down this coast. Can't you see that you can't possibly make a difference?"
The local native smiled, bent down and picked up yet another starfish, and as he threw it back into the sea, he replied, "made a difference to that one!"
