Part of a Bigger Plan

“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 quote says to me that all of our actions are for a purpose and are part of a larger plan that affects other people. Isaac Newton stated in his third law of motion that every action has a reaction. This truth is constantly displayed throughout The Five People You Meet in Heaven. For example, Eddie’s father went into the water to save his friend. Because of this, Eddie’s father became very ill with pneumonia. All these events led to Eddie working at Ruby Pier, where Eddie would spend the rest of his life and where he would eventually die. Eddie’s father’s actions at the time seemed minor and only relevant to the present time; however, they greatly affected Eddie. They were a major part of the bigger picture. This concept is also true for real life because at the time of our actions we are not thinking of the positive or negative effects that they can cause to other people. Sometimes we don’t know and may never know these people who are affected. One thing that we do know is that our actions occurred for a reason and that they were all a part of the plan for our lives.
