Tangled Together, Like Knots

      
         Isn't it just crazy, how one run-in with a complete stranger can completely change both your life and their life? Take this quote, for example; "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." We are all webbed together. We all impact each other's lives.
        
         You can't erase what you say or what you do. Once it's been said and done, it's final. Once you meet a person, you can't un-meet them. I think this quote means that all things are connected, one way or another, whether it be the small things and big things, major and minor things. Little things you say and do for someone can completely change their outlook on you. Holding the door open for someone, complimenting someone who just so happens to be having a bad day. They will remember you as that respectful stranger who wanted to make them feel better.
 
       And of course there are bad things that happen, whether big or small, something small such as a dirty look or something big like robbery that people will remember you with. In the book, The Five People You Meet In Heaven, the main character Eddie finds out how his actions affected other people. He did something simple and careless like running into the road, and ended up ending a man's life.
 
    Overall, I think the meaning of this quote is that all lives, no matter how well you knew each other, or how simply you met, all connect in the end. We're all tangled together like knots.
