The Five People You Meet in Heaven

      This prompt: "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 many things to me. Even as a small child, I never believed in random acts. I recall often, the memory of watching scary movies. I was never really a person to enjoy such films, for for an unknown reason, I watched them anyway, regretting it later. These movies would always frighten me as I tried to sleep at night. I always remembered telling myself, "Everything happens for a reason." So even if there was that boogie man in the closet, or that creature under the bed, I would tell myself that. So if there are no random acts and everything has a reason, if something should happen to me, it was meant to. The phrases "there are no random acts" and "everything has a reason", is the reason why my fears didn't control me then and don't to this day. 

       We are all human beings. We're all the same, but also all different. I never understood people's resentment and prejudice against each other. We are who we are, and we were born that way. White, black, purple, blue; American, Asian, African American, it doesn't matter. We're all human. We're all connected in that way and we always will be and hatred and racism won't change it. So we need to accept each other and the world would be better place. I suppose that would be like trying to strap feathers to a pig and try to make it fly, right? But I truly believe that if people read this inspirational novel, they would become better people. That is the power of this book. This prompt is the reason why my fears do not control me, but also the reason that I believe we're all equal and all the same. Everything happens for a reason.
