Before reading The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom, I could do nothing but take guesses at how we are all connected. I never truly understood how it is possible. However, after reading this heartfelt novel, I understand it completely. Random acts do not exist, and there is literally a reason for everything that ever has happened and ever will happen. In one way or another, we are all connected because to me, we all come from the same creator, God. No matter what race, age, background, ect. we come from, we are all related.
Two people started the population of Earth and there was no possible way they could reproduce
without us all being related. In the story, Eddie went to Heaven and some of the five most important people
he was sent to meet, he did not even know. This is an example of how people are connected to each other without knowing it. Some connections are more significant than others. Some may even be a matter of life and death. The first lesson Eddie learns is why some people die and other people do not. This lesson happened to be taught by a man he did not know yet caused to be killed in a wreck.
