Parable!
I have always liked the sea and starfish, so this parable was bound to appeal on one front or the other. I heard it on Radio 2 one morning ages ago, done my exercises and waiting for my Carers.
An old man is walking down the shoreline, when he see’s a young boy in front of him bending down and throwing something into the sea. He runs to see what the boy is doing and see’s that loads of starfish had been washed up by the tide and the boy was throwing them back. There were many starfish, so the old man asked the boy why it mattered, as he couldn’t throw all the starfish back into the sea, so the boy looked down at the starfish in his hand, threw it back and said,’ It mattered to that one.’
It does matter, if only one person gets help from this website, it will have served its purpose!
