Connected Lives

              "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 me this quote means that no matter who you are or what you do, you are connected to everyone around you. It doesn't matter if your best friend or your worst enemy is standing right next to you, the both of you are connected. This quote also means that nothing is an accident. Everything we do is for a reason. God has already planned  each and everyone of our lives out for us. All that we have to do is follow his plan and surround our selves with people who will help guide us on the correct path. Because I have surrounded myself with people who have kept me on this path, I have met so many more people who are trying to do the same. Therefore, molding me into the person that I am today.
            " ...than you can separate a breeze from the wind." I can infer a lot of things from this section of the quote. One thing that this quote helps me to infer, is that a breeze and a sudden gush of wind can go their opposite ways. However, somehow making their way back to each other at the first place they started. They are two totally different things but, they do have something in common. The one thing that they have in common is that they are both made up of air molecules. These two things remind me of humans. Two or more people may first meet in daycare when they were children. They go to different schools, causing them to never see each other again until their own kids go to the same daycare or school. You see, they met back up at the same place they first met by accident. Which leads me to my next point.
                     
               Not all accidents are bad. Even though most of them are. In the novel The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom, one example of a good accident is when Eddie took his dad's job as a maintenance man at Ruby Pier. Eddie saved many lives just by cleaning brakes and testing every ride each night before calling it a day. Many people were very grateful for Eddies job and the work he did to make sure all the rides were safe.
 
                In conclusion,   just because you meet someone new, it doesn't mean that it was a coincidence. All meetings have a purpose, they are not random. Nothing in your life is random, but everything ,however, has a purpose.
