Heaven intersects

            Destiny. Fate. Providence. Whether we chose to believe it, everything happens for a reason. When reading The Five People You Meet in Heaven you really start to understand life and how the choices you make can affect yourself but also the people around you. A quote from the five people you meet in heaven states, “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.” To me, the quote from The Blue Man means that nothing in this world just effects one person, no matter what there will be a cause and effect affecting someone else. What I chose to do today could consequently affect someone’s tomorrow.

            The first person Eddie meets in heaven is a man named Joseph Corvelszchik, also referred to as The Blue Man because of his skin color caused by an overdose on silver nitrate. Eddie remembers the Blue Man from his childhood, back when Ruby Pier had a freak show. The Blue Man then explains that because Eddie ran into the street chasing after his ball when he was a kid The Blue Man had to quickly brake in order to miss Eddie and died of a heart attack because the shock distracted him so much.  When Eddie learns that he was a contributor in the death of The Blue Man he was in shock. The Blue Man goes on to tell him that all lives are connected and intersect in one-way or another. Everything has a positive and negative reaction resulting in some people dying so others could live. Even though Eddie did not know Joseph Corvrlszchik before meeting him in heaven, they were connected his whole life.

            In conclusion, everyone views stories and novels in different ways. The way I choose to view it is as a man who learns about accidental consequence. When reading I learned so much about connection and love. Weather we chose to belive it, everything happens for a reason. Heaven intersects.
