When lightning strikes after you're gone, or a plane you could have been on crashes. When your coworker gets sick and you don't. We think those things are random, but there is a balance in everything. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.
In "The Five People You Meet in Heaven," Mitch Albom explores the concept of balance in life through experiences viewed as random occurrences, such as lightning strikes or tragic accidents. These events, however, may not be as arbitrary as they seem; they reflect a deeper equilibrium in the universe, where one life ends while another continues. This notion suggests that every event is interconnected, contributing to a larger tapestry of existence.
The author highlights the inevitability of birth and death, illustrating how these profound experiences shape the journey of life. Albom emphasizes that tragedy and survival can coexist, creating a cycle where the loss of one leads to the growth of another. This perspective invites readers to recognize the significance of every life and the intricate balance that governs our shared human experience.
