Everything Happens for a Reason, Were All Connected

" 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."

To some, this is  just a simple statement said in a book. To to others, this quote holds more significance than just words on a page. To me, this statement tells me that every event in the world isn't just connected by social media, its also connected by our actions. For instance Sir Isaac Newton, one apple fell form a tree and a whole theory was made about gravity. One car crash results in lives lost or maybe lives saved. One random kind act results in an on going cycle of kind acts done by strangers who want to help others. For everything we do, there's a reaction that could end up bad or good, but it all happens for a reason. Its apart of our lives.
In " The Five People You Met In Heaven", different actions that Eddie committed changed the lives of the people around him. Some he knew, some he did not. And it wasn't just Eddies actions that effected his own life but other peoples actions effected his as well. For example, when Eddie ran out in to the street for a run away ball, a truck swerved in order to avoid hitting him. The man in the truck died saving Eddie's life. Because of his death, a little boy was able to grow up and live a full life, and that was a sacrifice the blue man was willing to make for he had nothing to live for. Or how about Ruby and the making of the theme park. If the park would have never been made, Eddie would not have died. Its the simple things.
All in all, the quote to me means things are going to happen if life whether you want them too or not but every thing happens for a reason. One hug could save a life, one dollar can feed a starving kid. Its as plain and simple as that.
