Every Life Has a Purpose

In The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom the Blue Man states “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 opens with “That there are no random acts.” This means that everything in someone’s life is meaningful. Nothing is a coincidence or luck. The second part of this quote says “That we are all connected.” This means that our lives connect like chains and each decision we make effects another life. Take the Blue Man for instance. When Eddie as a young boy runs in front of the Blue Man’s car it causes him to swerve and die. “That you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind,” is the ending of the quote. This is expressing that people are bonded together like knots and not one person can undo an action. Everything that you do effects someone even without knowing it. Ruby, a woman Eddie never met before, impacted Eddie’s life by building the pier where him and his father would grow up, work, and eventually die. The smallest choices such as Eddie running into the street or a larger choice like pushing a little girl out of danger effects not only his life but others too. Your everyday life is the same. Chances are, you have already domino effected someone’s life or someone may have changed your life without you even noticing. Just realize that every life has a purpose, and every action has a meaning.
