Chaos Theory
The Blue Man says, "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 for me means that whatever you do there are always going to be consequences. They could be good or bad. One example from the book is the flashback that the Blue Man shows Eddie. He shows Eddie playing as a child with some of his friends and a ball. The ball goes over Eddie's head and into the street. As Eddie goes chasing after it he doesn't realize the car coming down the street. The Blue Man smashes down on the brakes and jerks the wheel to miss the child. The car skids and the tires screech, but somehow the Blue Man regains control over the vehicle and the crisis is averted. However, the adrenaline from the almost accident left the Blue Man's heart pumping so hard that he gets dizzy and just for a moment drops his head, but it was to late. The next time Eddie saw the Blue Man after that was in his coffin at his funeral. If Eddie hadn't gone into the road without looking all of the heartache could have been avoided. I think this is a good example of how the consequences of our actions can be very harsh, but they can also be wonderful and exciting.
