Everything Happens For a Reason

                     In the book The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Eddie goes through life and death experiences. He meets people that have had an impact on his life in someway. These people teach Eddie a lesson that he uses to finally find closure. The first person Eddie meets is the Blue Man. He tells Eddie "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 goes along with almost everything that happened in Eddie's life. I agree with the him in some sense that we are all connected and that others can affect our lives in many ways. I feel like even a stranger could affect your entire life in just a matter of seconds. My life has probably been changed in some ways today. Eddie's life was taken from him because of another persons actions. Even though the actions aren't intentional someones life could be changed forever and sometimes not as much. In the end all of Eddie's misfortune was forgotten and Eddie forgave everything. Why do things happen out of the blue? Maybe we need to enjoy the moment while its still good. One day everything will change and never be the same again.
