The Reason Behind...

Each day is a new beginning for humans here on Earth. However, if we analyze our past days, our experiences, our discoveries, or even our learning, I believe that each human being has a purpose to be in this world, which is to connect with each other.  We may have different paths, lifestyles and opinions, but we are all connected at one point.

 We meet certain people for a reason. We may not be able to rationalize the basis of our encounter at the right instant, but as we journey through life, we will discover and comprehend the reason. As humans, we may even have encountered events where we have affected someone or someone’s way of life. In the story, "The Five People You Meet in Heaven", Eddie had no idea that he had affected the Blue Man’s life. He never thought that they had already been on the same ground more than 70 years ago; and he unknowingly contributed to the cause of the Blue Man's death.  

 The characteristics of humans help us shape who we want to be.  As we step out of our front door, we see unique personalities, different views, and diverse cultures. These humans and events have allowed us to see the character we want to be or we want to possess. They also give us knowledge of what we want to pursue in our life. The successful stories we witness give us an idea of what we desire to do later on. It somehow inspires us to become better for the bright future ahead of us. It only depends on how we make use of our choices. According to Aristotle, there is always a reason for everything that happens. Your experiences are designed to shape you, define you, and hopefully, mold you into the mightiest you possible.

Strangers, who became our friends, came to our life for a purpose. Our relationships with them shaped who we are and how we live our lives. We met each one for a reason. It may be because we needed to make better choices, needed a hand for comfort, or feel the love we deserve.  Each one is special. In our lives, we need to learn how to manage every action like it’s the last we could perform. It may be as simple as throwing a pebble, but little do we know, it may have a massive effect on someone else’s.
