The Five People You Meet in Heaven
"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." This quote is relevant to the book, as it is also relevant to our lives. It illustrates a comparison between our lives and a chain reaction. Have you ever seen a chain reaction model, where one objects set another object in motion, and so on and so forth? You probably have, now if we were to apply this into our lives we would notice that one selfless act causes another selfless act, and somewhere down the line a magnificent act would come. On the other hand, lets look at something like abortion. One lie from Satan is the beginning of the chain reaction which causes the father to think that he isn't responsible, then the father convinces the mother that the child isn't worth it, which leads to catastrophe. The great things in life, and the horrible things in life all comes down to either one simple act of kindness, or of anger. If kindness starts a reaction, then only kindness can end the reaction. You can think of this like a graph, the origin is the start of he reaction, if it is a positive reaction then it will incline only in a positive way, if it is a negative reaction it can only get more negative, the two cannot go together. "That there are no random acts," means that every reaction was started for a purpose and you are a part of it, therefore, it is not random. "That we are all connected," every part of the chain reaction is essential. "That you can no more separate one life from another as you can separate a breeze from the wind," a reaction cannot end negative if it was started positive, and a chain reaction cannot end positive if it was ended negatively.
