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." What does this mean to me? Everything has a purpose. There is no explanation on why its like this, and there might never be one. Your life is not only "your life" per say. Everything you do affects someone else in some way. "...that each affects the other and the other affects the next...All stories are one." This quote from Albom ties into the original quote. One of the examples in the story is when Eddie is at the horse racing track and his wife is worried about him. She goes there, unknowing of the falling beer bottle waiting to crash into her windshield from above and almost cost her her life. these boys dropping the beer bottles did not know this would change her life forever. But this is how life is, one act leads to another, and another, and so on. The connection between humans causes an inevitable ripple effect.
