Saviors and Murderers Connected

     The book, "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" , has taught me how much life, and the people living in it, really means. Many people are just being dragged through life, thinking that they are not doing anything significant. Eddie thought the same thing, but after meeting his five people in heaven, he found out just how much he had done, and how much each life connects. 
       "They were there or would be there, because of the simple, mundane things Eddie had done in his life, the accidents he had prevented , the rides he kept safe." This quote from the book, "The Five People You Meet in Heaven," shows us that there are no random acts. Everything has a reason, an effect, and makes a connection. If you take away one life, it changes everything.    .   Though  Eddie learned that he was a savior to some people, through his otherwise mundane acts, he soon learns that the effects of your actions are not always positive . Eddie finds though his fifth person, a little girl named Tala, that he was the cause of Tala's death . He didn't know that he had killed her, he didn't even know her name at the time . Who knows how things could have changed if Tala had lived, what other lives she could have changed? Though through her death, these two different people were connected for eternity. This shows us how true the sentence,"You can no more separate one life from another, than you can separate a breeze from the wind," really is. This whole story shows us how we are all, saviors and murderers, connected.
