There is Purpose to Life

                 In the book, The Five people You Meet in Heaven, Mitch Albom states, “That there are no random acts.  That we are all connected.  That you can no longer separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from a wind.”  My interpretation of this quote is that people come and go for specific reasons and that there is a purpose to the order of events that have occurred in our lives.  During the narrative, Eddie continued to work at Ruby Pier for over 60 years to protect children. He fulfilled his purpose on earth when he sacrificed himself for the wellbeing of the young girl.  Eddie was meant to be at that place and that time when the ride detached and was headed for the girl.  This shows that our actions can impact another life, even if you do not know that person. 

                People do not realize how many others their decisions can affect.  They usually don't think of the cost of their actions before they act and that can change another's life in either a positive or a negative way.  In the book, the Blue Man went for a drive when Eddie's ball rolled into the middle of the road with him running after it.  Eddie's action ended up getting the Blue Man killed; he did not think about how that would affect anyone around him.  However, you can compare one's interaction with another as you can compare a breeze and a wind.
