Lessons Learnt From the Stars on the Beach

We all remember the story of the little boy walking along the beach strewn with beached star fish and how he made a difference to a handful of the latter. Life is such isn't it. So many lives are on edge, so many at risk. Countless souls are trudging this world aimlessly. There is just too much to do with so little of us to share. It seems almost futile. What is one life in this sea of human misery?
Yet as much as we want to carry the problems of this world on our shoulder, we just cannot. It is not humanly possible. We cannot be everything to everybody. Just humanly impossible. But we can be something to somebody, perhaps everything to somebody in this world. This could be our spouse, our child, our parent. If we could just touch that one precious life and make a difference for him or her, life would have been worth living. Just one heart, one soul, one mind, one fellow human......just one moment in time.
