“There is an apocryphal story about fish on the beach that has stayed with me my entire life. I do not remember where I first heard it, but I have always been able to recall it to mind with absolute clarity. It goes like this: A great number of fish had washed up on the beach; there, they flip-flopped, gasping for breath. A little girl had taken it upon herself to walk up and down the beach, however, picking up fish and throwing them back into the ocean. A bystander marvelled at this, and headed out to talk to her. “Why are you throwing these fish back into the ocean?” he asked the little girl. “It won’t even matter in the end. There are so many of them! You cannot possibly hope to save them all!” The little girl frowned at the bystander and held up the fish that she currently had in her hands. “It matters to this fish,” she told him. And then she turned herself back down the beach and stubbornly continued throwing fish back into the ocean.”
