The story of a man on a beach covered with stranded and dying starfish who sees a women taking them one by one and throwing them back into the ocean.

"Why are you doing all of this? There are millions of starfish and the beach goes on for miles. You cannot put them all back into the ocean, so what does it matter?"

She has one in hand and throws it into the water to give it back its life and says "It matters completely to this one, so it's this one that counts"


You matter to somebody, You matter enough to me that I responded to your post and that you're not alone, everyone feels this sometime in their lives.
