New Zealand man films himself chucking starfish back into the ocean while telling an inspirational story about being kinder to people.<br /><br />The clip, filmed on March 11, shows Benji Greenwood picking up starfish that are stuck on the rocks and throwing them back into the water.<br /><br />In the clip, Benji can be heard saying: "so I heard this story once about an old man who was chucking starfish back into the ocean. And as he chucked one after the other, a kid walked up and said 'old man, why are you chucking starfish back into the ocean? You’re not going to make a difference.' And the old man looked at the kid and threw a starfish and said well 'I made a difference to that one.'"<br /><br />Benji then adds: "The moral of the story is its the little things that matter just one by one the small deeds can make a huge difference, you might not be in the position to change the whole world, but you are in the position to change one person's world - or in my case, a starfishes world."<br /><br />One comment on the original TikTok post says "Probably shouldn't throw the starfish, but great metaphor!"
