There are no random acts, everything is a
domino effect, when one person does something they effect countless others. Everything
happens for a reason; and more often than not, we would not understand the reason. Your
actions can and will affect many others and you will never know it. Unless you
perhaps make it to heaven and have a similar experience to Eddie in the book, The
Five People You Meet in Heaven. Like when Eddie was a child and he dropped
the ball in the road and went to go get it; Eddie did not know he caused the
Blue Man’s death, but later in heaven he found out. Like when a pebble is
dropped in water; it causes a big ripple at first then slowly fades away, but the
ripple stills exists. And we may never know how far it spreads.
We are all connected, one life is as
important as any other. You can no more separate a breeze from the wind than
you can successfully determine which human life serves the least purpose.
Everyone is put on the Earth for a reason; whether it is to find the cure for
cancer or adopt one child from an abusive home. Or in Eddie’s case, to save
that little girl’s life at Ruby Pier. No life goes to waste. I believe God can
see all the dominoes and understands what will cause what but we as humans
cannot fathom that complexity. So we can only make the best decisions possible
for now, with the knowledge we have, and hope are ripples and dominoes have a
positive effect.
