There Are No Random Acts

I think that the quote, "That there are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more separate one life from another than you can a breeze from the wind," means that every act we do affects someone at some point in their lifetime. These acts can be big or small, good or bad, but they all have one thing in common, and that is that they make a change. To me, if all acts change someone, and all acts start with the choice to do or not to do it, then you need to think before you make a decision because once you make it there is no turning back. You may not realize that you could have already impacted somebody. You might not know it, but everybody has someone who looks up to them for some reason and if you make a wrong choice they may choose to do wrong also, setting a chain reaction. So, when you are faced with a choice, think to yourself, "What kind of impact will this make on me or someone else?"
This quote also means to me that everything happens for a reason, and that there are no mistakes. If you stop and think about it, you will see that this is so true. I have learned this through personal experience. One day I missed the bus and my mom had just left to go to work, so I called her to come back and pick me up to bring me to school. On the way there, we were in a car accident. Now there are many reasons one might think that this happened, and some might even say "Why did this happen to me?" But I thought of it as, "This happened to me for one of two reasons; one, to save someone else from being in an accident, and two, as an eye opener that I could have died and need to think if I need to change the way I am living." Either way I looked at it, I knew that it happened for a reason, and not by mistake. It is just like in the quote, you can't separate one breeze from all the breezes in a gust of wind just like you can't separate one person from another.
