Blog Assignment #1

The following 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 separate a breeze from the wind." means that everything and everyone are going to be connected no matter what. Everybody knows someone and whatever you do will eventually affect someone else. For instance, Eddie saved the little girl at the amusement park because he cared about her. Even though he didn't know her, he risked his life to save her then ,eventually he ended up dying, and she continued her life on Earth. Therefore, you can not separate yourself from anyone because we all end up being apart of something, or there's always a connection between you and someone else. Like, the Blue Man in the story The Five People You Meet In Heaven ,for example,the Blue Man was affected by Eddie's decision to run in the middle of the street to retrieve his ball. And the Blue Man was distracted for a brief moment and ended up swerving and minutes later, was dead because of an accident he had that day. As you can see, none of them knew each other, but they were both affected in the long run.
So, I believe when they say that," you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind," they are simply saying you can't have breeze without the wind. Because these two are a package deal, they are meant to be together as one. So everyone is meant to come together for a purpose. It doesn't really matter why we have to; it's God's decision. Our life depends on one another, and we basically survive off of one another. The point is we need each other, and we are all attached to one another. We cannot be separated. As one life starts, another one must end!
