I loan because:
As he got closer, he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?" The young man paused, looked up and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean." -- "I guess I should have asked, Why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" -- "The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don't throw them in they'll die." -- "But young man, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it? You can't possibly make a difference!" The young man listened politely. Then bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves. "It made a difference for that one!" (Joel Barker, inspired by the writing of Loren Eiseley)
