All things are connected. Ask the Doctor. (No. Not your Doctor.) Everything affects everything else. Believe what you want, but it's true. The seemingly most meaningless of lives has an effect on many other lives. Remove that one insignificant life from ever having existed, and the world itself changes. All things are connected. I don't really have to argue the point with you, do I? I'd hate to think you were that thick.
My life was saved and changed once by a cockatiel. When I was incapacitated, and simply wanted to end my life, this little feathered angel, Harry, fell out of the sky, and into my life. He had an impact not just on my life, but on those I have come into contact with since. He is the reason my current cockatiel companion, Eddie, is alive today. A few months after Harry's death, I saw an article in the newspaper, and rescued Eddie from a Humane Society shelter. I can't swear he would have died, but I don't believe he was far from it. But I would not have even noticed the article in the paper if Harry had never come into my life.
That might seem like a tiny, So what? kind of thing. But if it wasn't for Harry, I do believe I would not be here. And so, for me, it weren't no small thing. And hopefully, for all those I have had the privilege of having any meaningful contact with, it's a bit more than just an insignificant occurrence in time.
Anyway, as I said, all things are connected. And that includes more than what we see, and what we can possibly understand. There's more than just the world in front of us, you know. Didn't anyone ever explain that to you? Where have you been?
