The Starfish Story
|
A Buddhist monk was walking along the beach one day with his disciple. Thousands of starfish had been washed up onto the shore after a fierce storm. Stooping down, the monk lifted a single creature and returned it to it's home in the sea. The disciple asked why his master did this when it made so little difference to the mass of stranded starfish. As the monk lifted another single starfish he replied,
"It makes a difference to this one."
And he tossed it back into the sea!
