Choices

     In the novel," The Five People You Meet in Heaven", the main character, Eddie, meets people who have had a purpose in his life. One of the people Eddie meets is Joseph or the Blue Man. The Blue Man tells Eddie," That there are no random acts. That we are all connected.. That you can no more separate the breeze from the wind." The choices you make and the acts you do all affect someone else's life. Every life has a purpose, every choice has a consequence. Whether it is intentional or not, your actions can come with good or bad effects. Like the story states," Please mister..." Eddie pleaded." I DIDN'T know." The Blue Man nodded." You couldn't know. You were too young." Eddie ran into the road to get his ball which caused the Blue Man to swerve and later have a heart attack. Eddie never knew he contributed to why the man had died. Also, he did not know that the Blue Man's family and friends would also be affected by one simple act. Choices that are made can cause a lot of lives to be altered and changed. Good or bad, the choices, acts, and decisions you make are not coincidences. They are not just your past, but also your future.
