The Star Thrower

Early one morning, as the sun was rising in the sky, an old man went for a walk along a beach.  As he walked, he noticed a young boy in the distance.  He saw the boy pick something up from the sand and throw it into the sea.  The boy walked a few steps and then picked something else up and tossed it into the sea.  The old man was curious.  He made his way over to the boy, "Can I ask what you are doing?" he said.  "I'm throwing the starfish into the sea" replied the boy.  the old man looked puzzled, "Why would you do that?" he said.  "Because the tide is going out and the sun is coming up," explained the boy.  "Soon it will be too hot on the sand the the starfish will dry out."  The man threw his head back and laughed, "But the beach goes on for miles and miles.  There are thousands of starfish stranded here.  You will never be able to make a difference!"  The boy gently picked up another starfish and threw it into the sea.  As it splashed into the cool water, he turned to the man and said, "I made a difference to that one. Joanna is one of our voluntary counsellors and wanted to share the above as an insight into why she provides free therapy to those who experience abuse, that despite how prevelant domestic abuse is, it is worth helping even the one.
