A boy is drowning in the ocean.
A crowd gathers on the beach.
A man runs out to try to save the boy.
Despite his best efforts, he can’t drag the boy and himself to safety and begins floundering.
The crowd watches, not knowing what to do or how to help.
A leader from the crowd emerges.
Just an ordinary man like the heroic rescuer.
Something needs to be done.
Right now.
He does it.
He calls out to others to form a human chain. People rush to help and join the chain.
The chain breaks.
It breaks again…
