The quote from The Five People You Meet In Heaven states, “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 means to me, simply what
it says. Everyone has a purpose, a plan, and can affect the lives of other
people. We have been put on this Earth for a reason. God has a plan for
everyone's life, though it may take a while to realize this truth.
No life is more
valuable than another life. Everyone’s life has a purpose. The things we do makes
up the life we presently live. Your actions are not just picked from a bowl
like a raffle ticket. Those actions were designed just for you, for a specific
reason. The actions you take are never an accident. There is always an
influence and explanation of why it happens, even though we might not yet know
the reason. Your purpose is the reason you are here and the direct impact you
make on the world around you.
One day, I was
riding in the car with my dad, and we saw a homeless man. My dad drove up and
handed the man a couple of dollars. Although we were not around to see the
results of his actions, we know that we made a positive impact on someone who
we did not know. Everyone is on a different path in life and the homeless man
is not any less valuable than we are. Situations and circumstances do not dictate
that. Even he has a purpose and a reason why he is here. We might not know the
purpose now, but at least we know we have one in the end.
Everyone has a
plan for their life, and a path they take to follow along that plan. On that
road are many bumps that may slow us down, mud puddles we might slip in, and
people we might pass by. Some we will meet, and some we will only pass by. Even
though we might not meet them it doesn’t mean they don’t play a part in our
lives. The same thing happens with Eddie and the Blue Man in the book The
Five People You Meet In Heaven. The Blue Man who thought he was a nothing,
and thought he affected no one, suddenly became a key figure in a small boy’s
life. We are all joined together, and no one is considered a nothing. We are
all valuable and contribute something in this world, no matter how big or small.
Everyone plays a role,
and what we do affects others, whether we know it or not. This concept is
similar to the domino effect. When the first domino falls, it knocks the
second one into the third. From there, the chain reaction continues until
the momentum stops, and all the dominoes on that specific line are down.
However, sometimes it doesn’t just affect one person, but it can impact a whole
group of people. For example, whenever one of my family members come home in a
bad mood, it might change everyone else’s mood. It spreads like wildfire until
the whole family is in a bad mood. People affect our everyday lives in positive
and in negatives ways.There is great truth in the fact that everyone and everything is connected.
