Fate is Fate

  Our lives are all connected someway whether we like it or not. Acts towards others both big and small resonate throughout the lives of many. This meaning something small one may not even think could impact significantly makes a large impact to someone's life. For example, as a child Eddie ran into the street making a car slam the breaks and veer around him. Eddie was not harmed, nor was the driver at this point. Not long after as the man is still driving, the jolt of adrenaline has forced his heart to pump furiously and make him dizzy. He then almost collides with another vehicle and looses control as he tumbles away with a crash and is eventually pronounced dead. Eddie caused a man's death, this most likely impacted the lives of the man's friends and family, or even the car he almost collided with. There are no random acts. We are all connected. You can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind.

  To me, "there are no random acts" are the causes and effects to life. One may have helped an elder walk across the street, or give a homeless man some change. Someone else may have noticed this act and it motivated them to do the same, or another good deed such as help someone carry their groceries to their car. Newton's third law of motion states that every reaction has an equal and opposite reaction. The same concept is applied to acts of life.

  "We are all connected" means to me exactly what it states, that we are all connected. "You can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind" refers to the title of this prompt that fate is fate. Everything happens for a reason, which is also known as our destiny. In conclusion, The
Five People You Meet in Heaven is a story about a man named Eddie and his fate after death.
