Chain Reaction

                To me, the prompt, "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," has three main points that are very important. 
                The first point, "That there are no random acts," means that life does not have coincidences. Nothing happens just because it can happen. There's a reason for it. To illustrate, two teachers that were going to New York City became sick and had to cancel their travel plans. It was later found out that the flight they were supposed to take was one of the planes that flew into the Twin Towers. The illness saved the teachers lives. 
                  The next point, "That we are all connected,"  means that everyone has something to do with everyone else. Every decision you make affects someone else whether you realize it or not. The affects can be positive or negative, depending on the decision you make. For example, if you choose to drink and drive, your decision is putting other drivers on the road at risk. 
                   The last point, "That you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind," means that you cannot prevent the chain reaction your actions have on other people. It's impossible. There is no way to prevent it from happening. For example, if some one gets bullied, it can affect their attitude, the way they treat people , their friends, their future, their self esteem, and everything beyond that.
