“You can no more separate one life from another than you can separate wind from a breeze.” means simply that we are all connected, through every decision no matter how insignificant it may seem. For example, Eddie’s life is connected to a boy that once visited the amusement park. He chose to put his car keys in the pocket of a jacket that was tied around his waist. It fell out during one of the rides and hit a cable wire that gradually ripped over time. Eventually, the wire snapped. This seemingly small decision caused Eddie to lose his Earthly being.
Another example would be Eddie’s captain. In the story, he saved Eddie from burning in a fire as he chased after what he assumed to be someone stuck in the flames. His captain made the call to shoot Eddie in the knee as to get him out of the fire. Afterwards, he chose to go ahead of Eddie and the others to see if it was safe to continue down the road. He ended up dying in an explosion. Their lives are undoubtedly connected in many more ways than one. If his captain had not shot Eddie, there was a possibility that Eddie could have died and there was a slight chance that his captain would have survived in his stead.
