Everything Happens for a Reason

"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."

What this quote means to me is that everything happens for a reason. We can have an impact on some one's life and we may not even know it. Just like in the book, Eddie had an impact on Blue Man's life and he didn't even realize it. For instance, if you applied for a job at the local supermarket and you did not get the job, some one else got the job. So you go apply somewhere else and get hired. A week later while you are working at your new job you pick up the newspaper during your break and on the front page the headline reads, "Gun Man opens fire at local Supermarket." If you would have got that job, you would have possibly been shot and killed. But instead you are safe working at your new job and not dead. We need to live our lives as though it's our last and not have any regrets. We may not understand the way things happen at that moment but later in life, we will find out the reason. That is what 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 separate a breeze from the wind" means to me.
