We Are All Connected

"There are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more seperate one life from another than you can seperate a breeze from the wind."

To me, this quote means just what it says. We are all connected. I never really thought about it until I read "The Five People You Meet in Heaven", but it's so true. For example, imagine that your doing a project for school, and your teacher pairs you up with a person that you've never even talked to before. You start talking to the person, and by the end of the school year, the two of you are best friends. If you would have had the opportunity to pick a partner for yourself, you probably would have chosen one your friends, and never would have even talked to the person. It doesn't end there. What if that particular teacher had quit, or taken a job at another school? Chances are, you wouldn't of even had any classes with that person that your now best friends with. The decisions you make now, even the smallest ones, can have lasting affects on not just you, but others. Another example is maybe your mom is taking your dog to the vet and your mom asks you to come with her. You decide to go with her and after seeing what vets get to do, you decide that one day you want to be a vet. That helps determine what college you want to attend, and while at college, you meet the person that you will marry. It's a chain reaction. Whether you realize it or not, in some way, we are all connected. So next time, before you act, think.
