“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 is from the book The Five People You Meet in Heaven. It has a way of allowing the reader to have a better understanding of the one of the five themes in the book. This quote could be portrayed as having many meanings, but the way I look at it is that everyone in your life or anything that happens in your life is there or happened for a reason. Since this quote was spoken by the Blue Man aka the main character, Eddie’s first person he met in heaven, it was the first theme the readers learned in the story. When the Blue Man states, “There are no random acts”, he means that there is nothing in life that has no meaning. Into deeper thought: everything anyone does, does not just happen for the sake of it; what anyone does could have affect their own lives and actions, other people’s lives and actions, and many more. When the Blue Man voices, “That we are all connected”, he means that our actions create a chain of events. In some way, someone has affected your life, you have affected someone else’s life, also affecting someone else’s, and so on. This does not have to be bad though, it could also be a very positive effect. Lastly, the Blue Man explains, “That you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from a wind.” This measure of explaining the theme is an eye opener, because it dives deeper into letting the reader know that all lives are connected. It would be impossible to separate a breeze from a wind, because they are the same, so when the Blue Man states this quote, he means that it is impossible for a life to be separated from another life. Even if you may not talk to one person anymore, they may have had some effect on you at one point.
