Randomness is Nonexistent

        "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." In my opinion, this quote means that every decision we make and every action we make can affect others around us, whether we realize that or not. A simple, every day occurrence to me could lead to a catastrophic event for someone else, and there is no action that goes unnoticed. Every person in the world contributes to each other, whether it be good or bad. We, as human beings, are all connected, and small acts of kindness can rub off on someone else, sometimes on a person who you have never met before. Fate has a big role to play in life, and like Eddie discovers many times during the story, everything happens for a reason.  Randomness is nonexistent on Earth, and even the most miniscule of actions can have a huge impact on the lives of others, just like in the story, where Eddie finds out that he has impacted the Blue Man and Ruby,  two people whom he had never before or had any contact with. This shows the delicateness of life and that we should be careful in every action we take. We are all caught in the web of life, with one person closely connected to the next, whether that be a friend or a stranger. Because of this, we should all have a positive outlook on life, and try to make the ripple effect of our actions a good occurrence rather than a catastrophic one. Even though many of these chain reactions are impossible to predict, I believe that thinking before you act can be a matter of life or death in the long run. All in all, I believe that this quote is a mirror image of our lives because there, in reality, are no acts that fly below the radar, and we are all closely knit, even if we may not realize it.
