No life is Unimportant

There is no one life that is invaluable or uninvolved. Everyone is connected to others whether they know it yet or not. The prompt of this blog,” 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 means that no one life is unimportant. Everyone matters and plays an important role in many other people’s lives although they may not be aware of it yet.

In the story “The Five People You Meet in Heaven” Eddie Is Involved in many people’s lives including one called The Blue Man. In the story, Eddie and the Blue Man could not be more different. For example, Eddie is a small boy where The Blue Man is in a traveling circus act at the time because of his unusual blue skin color. In the story Eddie is the cause of the Blue Man’s death because he ran in front of him to get a baseball in the street while the Blue Man was driving and the Blue man had a heart attack and died. But, the Blue Man teaches Eddie that we are all connected, that there are no random acts that you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind.  This is the theme of the story and I believe it could not be more true because of how many times it is portrayed in the story and because how opposite Eddie is from the Blue Man. Another example of how lives are connected is when kills the small girl in the hut fire. Although Eddie feels very bad for killing her she helped him by pulling him into heaven, and he eventually made it right by washing her scars from the burns away.

To me,” There are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more separate one life from another that you can separate a breeze from the wind,” means that no one life is invaluable. Saying no life is unimportant means that everyone is important and involved in others’ lives even if those people may not know it yet.
