Intertwined

"That there are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind."
This quote bombards my mind with ideas every time I read it. This quote is worded so that the reader, when pondering its meaning, is at a loss for words. This quote is so brilliantly crafted that it paints a picture in its reader's mind. It has been said that a picture's worth a thousand words, and each reader has their own picture and therefore their own interpretation. Well, these are just a few of my thousand words.
To me, this quote is a way of explaining life. This quote is saying that everything happens for a reason; that there are no accidents. It means that even though your circumstances may put you at a disadvantage, there will always be a reason for why they are the way they are. Your circumstances may not be for your benefit or even have relevancy with your purpose, but because we are all intertwined, our circumstances have purpose with someone's path and journey, even when we do not know who.
This quote was the motto for the novel The Five People You Meet in Heaven. The entire story revolved around its meaning. This quote has such a deep and powerful meaning that it has given me this picture. Even when life is unfair, vague, and without an explanation, we must remember that there are reasons; everything will come together in the end. Every little thing that happens has meaning and momentum behind it. Each of us are a fragment of a whole, one weave in a basket, a single tear in the sea. We are all intertwined.
