Chain Reaction

     Whether they are simple or difficult, everyone has decisions to make in their day to day life. What you decide will affect everyone else because your actions will create a chain reaction of how people are influenced by your choices. An example, say you bully a kid to the point he kills himself. Possibly then his mother would go into a depression or their entire family would become dysfunctional.
     Not every act you do will make a great impact, if any at all, on the people around you. However, a simple good morning could change someone's whole frame of mind. The reason most acts are not random is because things you do or say can change a person's entire day that would not have happened had you done something different. You cannot go a day without altering someone else's path with your actions and atmosphere. Where you might think that you have no purpose, as Eddie had felt throughout the book, you are mistaken.
    You may not notice who you influence and be clueless of the fact that a person's day was modified due to you, but those people are there. Some are affected for the better, some for the worse, and where you might not want to interrupt people's lives, there is no possible way to separate yourself from the next person. Before you do something, think about how it will modify an individual's attitude. You never know who's life you will change.
