Every action that someone performs affects another`s life no matter how miniscule the task may seem. People inadvertently alter others` lives everyday. "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." This quote from the book The Five People You Meet in Heaven represents these everyday scenarios perfectly. It explains how it`s destiny for one person to contribute to the life of another person no matter how small or large this contribution may be. For example, Eddie accidentally runs out into the street while chasing an overthrown ball, and narrowly misses being hit by a car. This may have not seemed like such a life altering thing for the child Eddie was, but for The Blue Man, the driver that swerved out of Eddie`s way, it changed his life drastically. The Blue Man wouldn't live much longer after the almost-incident as he would have a heart attack and pass away shortly after due to the amount of adrenaline pumping through his weak heart.
In conclusion, every activity that we do, or sometimes don`t do, affects someone else`s life. Whether it may be a direct or indirect impact to the affected person, their life changes. Everyone`s life is connected some way or another. Chances are, you`ve changed someone`s life without even realizing it, or even vise versa. Just remember that there are no such things as coincidences; Everything happens for a reason.
