"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." There's not one thing in this world that does not have a cause-and-effect scenario. When Eddie first got in Heaven, he met the Blue Man, the first of his five people. The Blue Man gave him his first lesson, that there are no random acts in life, everything that happens has a reason for it to happen. This proves as a huge meaning to the everyday life, that just one small act can make a difference in the biggest of circumstances. Even the smallest of acts, as in not high fiving your friend back, or even like Eddie and kicking a ball in the street, can change a whole other life forever, whether you know it or don't.
I think that what Mitch Albom, the author of this novel, was trying to explain to us about "The Five People You Meet in Heaven," doesn't necessarily have to be in Heaven. It can be taken place anywhere in the mortal, religious, or scientific world as it wants to, because it's about learning from your life when you lived. That it can take a whole life time to learn just one small thing. Referring back to how the Blue Man died whenever Eddie was only a little boy, and Eddie not knowing at all, because it can take a whole lifetime to learn about what was done, and that just one small act, can change it all.
