The quote "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." means to me that everything and everybody's actions in this world effect one another. Not necessarily good or bad actions either. The quote leads my thoughts to the point that the decisions you make can effect the lives of many other people either radically or minimally. You might not even know it, either. Eddie running in front of the blue man's car is an example of this. The lesson that I receive from this is that you must examine your situations closely before you make a decision. This isn't strictly for Eddie's situation either. I myself have been in vaguely similar situations. Nothing life threatening of course. This quote is quite thought provoking. Really the entire book The Five People You Meet in Heaven is a really deep and thoughtful book. However, this quote really made me connect the lessons in the book to my life. This quote meant a lot to me, and after I finished the book I even thought back on it. This a fantastic line and it really stirred my thought up.
