All Actions Have Reactions




     Everything that happens has a purpose. Any action that occurs will effect the world around it, no matter if it is just a leaf falling from a tree. If you try to stop the reaction of the world, the it will be as hard as "to separate a breeze from the wind."
     I find that this is a very true statement no matter how you look at it. Whether from the person who caused the action, or the person that is reacting to the action. Just think that in one summer you could have somehow started a chain of actions that started WW3. Or you could have gotten somebody to rethink their life, and that caused them to invent the next evolution in the medical industry.
     It's sad though, that even with all the good you could do, you could still kill people and not even know it because of this principle. Almost like how Joseph Corvelzchik, or the "blue man," was killed by Eddie running into the street to grab his ball. These things just happen in life and although we might think we can stop them, we can't.
     That's just the way things are, I'm afraid. All lives are connected in some way shape or form. Try to disconnect them and you will find it impossible. All you will do is cause other lives to be affected by your meddling.
     This concept from The Five People You Meet in Heaven really changed how I look at life. It is the best book that I have read in the past few years and I encourage everyone to pick it up and start reading.
