Coincidence?

         All lives and events that occur in them are connected somehow; there's no such thing as what some call "coincidence". Have you ever wondered if the person you are going to marry owns one of the footprints in the sand at the beach you're visiting? That's only one example out of thousands that shows that there are no random actions in life. "There are no random acts. We are all connected. You can no more seperate one life from another than you can seperate the breeze from the wind," this quote really makes me wonder how we could all be somehow connected. Life itself could be compared to a line of dice about to knock over one after another. Different trains of events connect each and every one of us although we may not come to that realization. The quote teaches me that sometimes we are unaware but, every event occurred in our lives can change others. In the novel The Five People you Meet in Heaven, the topic of "no random acts" is discussed many times throughout the story. For example, when Eddie goes into the street to get the ball without noticing the truck coming he luckily got the ball and returned to the yard safely. Meanwhile, the "blue man" driving the truck is still in shock and gets in a car crash that sends him to heaven. Eddie was unaware of the situation until he met the "blue man" in heaven which proves that we can be not cautious of our surroundings and still change someone's life because once again, there are no random actions. The quote definitely is questionable but in my opinion it's a great message to send out so that everyone can interpret it differently. We can all learn something from that quote, I learned that maybe the smallest things we say could knock down walls for not only one but many people. Just like we cannot separate a breeze from the wind, there's no way we can stop the events in our lives from connecting with others.
