“I keep their pictures in my wallet…to remind me that one man can make a difference even against insurmountable odds.”
Comment:
I once read a story about a man on a beach who picks hundreds of star fish and throw them back into the sea. He does it every afternoon. Then comes a man and asks him “don’t you have something else to do? Because it seems
to me that what you are doing is worthless. Anyway, there is a department that takes care of the wilderness. Why don’t you just give up trying to change the world?” then the man replies as he continues throwing a starfish “well, this one does change the world.”
The world does not need us to be a leader or a very famous person to change it to be a better place. We can simply change it by doing what we can. Throwing garbage into a trash can, unplug the charger of a cell phone after using it, smile to the neighbors around us are few of many simple things we can do to make a different and change the world into a better place.
Summary of the Movie:
Sadie and Ben are in love, and although Ben suggests getting married in the Caribbean, Sadie has her heart set on a wedding at the family church, St. Augustine's. Ben says sure, and they meet with the pastor, Rev. Frank. The only date open for two years is three weeks away, and Frank insists the kids go through his marriage prep course. They're to write their own vows; he also demands chastity, bugs their apartment, initiates arguments, has them care for robot twins, creates friction between Ben and her family, and raises doubts in Sadie. Desperate, Ben looks for dirt on Frank. Can he undermine Frank's authority and keep Sadie's heart?
