We Are All Connected

“You can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind.” To me, this means that we all have power over the lives around us. One small decision we make could affect someone else very strongly, without us even knowing. For example, when Eddie went into the road to get his baseball, he hadn’t meant to almost get hit by a car. Eddie was grateful that the driver swerved just in time, and then he went back to playing with his friends. However, Eddie didn’t realize the driver would die of a heart attack because of the shock of nearly killing a little boy. If Eddie had known this would happen, he probably would have checked for cars before going in the street to get his ball. People do things without thinking, and it sometimes has extreme consequences. “We are all connected.” We cannot control what others do, and anyone can come along and destroy your life. Or they may change your life for the better. Many people believe that these things happen for a reason. “There are no random acts.”
