A man is standing on a beach after a storm with the tide out, where there are thousands of starfish baking in the sun, slowly dying. The man is picking up the starfish one at a time, and throwing them into the ocean.
A bystander is walking by, and says, "Why are you doing that? There are thousands of starfish and it won't make a difference."
The man picks up another starfish and says, "To this one it matters," and throws it into the ocean.
