The price of gasoline is out of control! The cost of food has sky rocketed!
Global temperatures are getting warmer!
There is no end in sight for the war in Iraq!
The housing market has collapsed!
And, the US Dollar is worthless!
What do all of these issues have in common?
Well, these issues are all are contributing to a higher suicide rate!
It is a fact; over a million people commit suicide every year!
Some would say, "What difference does it make? It's the law of nature! It's a thinning of the herd!"
What difference does it make?
The day, after a hurricane, an old man was surveying the damage to his coastal home. As he did he noticed a small boy on the beach scurrying about in a frantic manner, and he decided to investigate. As the old man got closer to the boy, he could see that the little boy was picking up starfish that had washed onto the beach as a result of the hurricane. The boy was taking the starfish one at a time back to the waters edge, and throwing them back in the ocean. The old man looked up and down the beach seeing a million starfish that had washed ashore, and he new that within a few hours the hot sun would kill them all. Such was life the old man thought to himself. After watching the little boy for a few minutes he finally asked the boy, "Hey boy! What are you doing?"
The boy responded, "Can't you see? I'm saving these starfish! If they stay on the beach they will die!"
The old man said, "Can't you see? There are a million starfish on the beach! There are too many for hundreds of people to save, much less one little boy. What difference will it make if you save a couple of starfish? Why don't you just give up? You can't possibly make a difference!"
The little boy just stood still for a few minutes thinking about what the old man had just said, and then he reached down and picked up another starfish, ran to the waters edge, and threw it back into the ocean. Then, looking at the old man one more time, the little boy shouted back to the old man, "It makes a difference to that one!"
