We Are All Connected.

             In the book The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom, the author says “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.” This means everything we do could have an unexpected effect on someone else.

The effect could be a bad thing. A family comes into a restaurant. Their child wants a burger, but the restaurant is out. The child then orders a seafood platter. It turns out, he was majorly allergic to shellfish and he dies, just because someone ordered the last burger.

The effect could also be good, even with something as seemingly tragic as a car crash. Two people get in a car crash and one person breaks their leg. What they don’t know is the crash saved them from driving over a railroad with broken mechanisms and getting crushed by a train.

Whether it is a small thing like ordering a burger or a big thing like crashing into them on the road, everything we do affects someone else, for better or worse.
