Very trained metaphor…for a help done in benefit of others…when they need the most…

This is another story that reminds of something from my past. I lived close to the beach for one year. Every morning I would ride my bike to the beach where I spent time walking on the sand. One morning, I noticed a surprising number of Horseshoe Crabs on the beach, many were lying on their backs and couldn’t flip over. Knowing they would die if I didn’t help them, I began carrying them to the water. I did this for one season until their egg laying season was over. Living in the wild isn’t easy or safe. Their lives are in danger every day. Every neighborhood is a bad neighborhood for our wild creatures. Feeling a little guilty about my comfortable life, where I don’t have to worry about being killed every time I leave my home, my heart goes out to them.
