The quote, "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" from the book The Five People You Meet in Heaven means everything you do is important and can have an effect on anything or anyone. No matter how small of a thing you do, it can leave a huge mark. Eventually, that mark will cause a ripple, then a wave and people will start being affected because of what the first person did. They didn't mean for anything bad to happen, but it did because all of their actions were connected. People are affected every day from what others' do, and there is a reason for that. No one knows specifically why, but it all happens for the same reason.
This quote has made me rethink of all the brainless and dangerous activities I have participated in during my life. The only reason I don't have permanent damage to my body is because fate didn't want it to happen. People have sacrificed so much so I can be here right now typing this blog and living my life. This quote has made me feel blessed to be alive, but I can't help to also feel guilty for things I have unintentionally caused. I could be a mass murderer and not even realize, until now, what I have done. We shouldn't feel guilty, though, because everything will happen for a reason and nothing can change that.
