Making A Difference
This is an insightful short story told by actor Eddie Murphy in the movie Holy Man: [1]
There was a storm. And thousands and thousands of starfish were washed up on the shore. And there was this beautiful little girl was running down the beach and she was picking up the starfish, she was frantically throwing them back into the ocean. When I saw her doing this I said to her, “Why are you doing that? You can only save a few before they die, what difference does it make?” And she looked at me and she said, “To THAT one, it makes a difference.” To THAT one, it makes a difference, that little girl said. And she was right and at that very moment she was making a difference for that starfish and she was making a difference for herself too because she was connected, to that starfish. And that’s what life is all about, connecting. In fact that’s the only time you’re ever alive, really, is when you’re connecting.
My Opinion
This is really amazing story, and I think that what he is trying to tell us how life it’s not just about logic, because when thinking about it we find that the little girl can’t save more than a small percentage of the total starfishes, so -rationally- what she is doing doesn’t matter.
But that’s not how we are supposed to think, because it mattered to THAT starfish, so we should remember to think through the prospective of the other.

Get a New Car For Free!
Imagine that you where in a game show, and the host has offered you three doors to choose from, knowing that one contains a fancy car behind it and the other tow are each hiding a not-so-fancy goat behind it! saying that you gain what is behind the door that you choose.
Now after choosing a door and before opening it to see the result, the host opens another one containing a goat (he already knows that) and asks you if you want to change your selection!
Welcome All!
Peace be upon you, everyone!
