If I have a million dollars and a cent is taken from it, I am no more a million-dollar man. Just that cent makes me a 'thousandner'. On the flip side, if I need a million dollars to reach or achieve a goal and someone comes offering a cent; the well-intentioned act of the giver will be seen but as just a drop of water where an ocean will suffice. Same one cent, yet each with a different version of their worth.
