"In certain parts of the world, there are beaches that after that
The tide goes down, they are covered by millions of starfish, totally defenseless, since they have not yet developed their shell.
Their delicate skin cannot stand the heat of the sun and they end up dying.
One day, walking on the beach, I noticed a girl who was bending over at all times, picking up something from the sand and throwing it into the sea.
She did the same thing over and over again...
As soon as I got closer, I noticed the girl was picking up the fragile starfish and throwing them back into the sea one by one.
Intrigued, I asked her why he was doing that and she replied:
- I'm returning these starfish to the water.
As you can see, the tide is low and if I don't throw them in quick, they will die dehydrated here.
-I understand, I told you, but there must be millions of starfish on the beach and you could never return them all. There are way too many!
Maybe you didn't realize that this same thing is probably happening on hundreds of beaches along the coast, aren't you doing something that makes no sense?
The girl smiled, leaned, took a starfish and while throwing it back into the sea she answered me:
- This one did make sense... for this one and this one too.
I smiled, I leaned, I took a starfish, while saying "and for this one... and this one... "
Other people who were watching and listening to what was happening, took the same attitude. At one time we were hundreds.
You could hear a choir from the distance saying:
"And for this one... and this one... "
Every act of love we do to our loved ones, friends, co-workers, known or not, is a little star you return to the sea.
I know that in this complicated and materialistic world, a single gesture of tenderness and solidarity may not be enough.
But if we come together, as on the beach, we will achieve that millions of souls in this world can have a hope for life and live in peace in the still and pleasant waters of God.
_let's add intentions, wills, desires but above all actions and facts, only then a better world will be possible.
Blessings and gratitude always go hand in hand multiplying their effects no matter how much or how little their reach is.
For one blessing always attracts another and sincere thanks for them multiplies infinitely.
If anyone reads this, maybe we can change a little for humanity. We are blessed! Thank you!!
