“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 quote is from the novel “The Five People You Meet in Heaven” by Mitch Album. The
quote means that in a way everyone affects everyone. When Album writes, “That we are all
connected.” He doesn’t mean literally attached. What he means is that everything anyone
does will affect the outcome of things. Anything you do will affect someone else. Even the
tiniest things, whether it be what you say, or something you dropped, or even just where
you’re going. He uses the metaphor at the end of the quote as just another example. “That
you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the
wind.” You can’t separate the breeze from the wind. The same way you can’t stop your
actions from affecting someone else.
