“We’re All in This Together”
 
“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.”
 
          To me, this quote means that everything we do affects others. We all correspond with each other. We all have a relationship in some way. For example, if I order a pizza I never even get to meet the person who made it, only the person who delivered it to me. The person who made my pizza doesn’t get to meet me either. However, that person was part of the reason I had something to eat that day, and I was part of the reason he was going to get paid. We helped each other without even realizing it. Everything happens for a reason, and the cause and effect of what happens in your life is connected to everyone, not just you. You can’t separate what happens between people, fate is fate.
 Even small and seemingly pointless things affect the lives of others. For example, if you are running low on cash, but you still want to help someone in some way. You decide to donate to a child cancer charity, but you can only donate a penny. However, what you don’t know is that the child you donated to was one single penny away from reaching her goal and being able to pay for treatment. What you thought was only going to help very little actually made a huge difference. You hardly even realized you were connected to that child; you only thought of it as donating to some charity.
