Eddie discovers the impact of his actions on others from "summary" of The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom
Eddie, a maintenance worker at Ruby Pier, had always believed that his actions did not hold much significance in the grand scheme of things. He saw his job as mundane and routine, with no real impact on anyone else. However, as he embarks on a journey through the afterlife, he begins to realize the profound effect his actions had on those around him. Through a series of encounters with five different people in heaven, Eddie learns about the interconnectedness of all lives and how each person's actions can ripple out and touch the lives of others in ways they may never have imagined. He sees how a seemingly small act of kindness or cruelty can have far-reaching consequences, affecting not only the person directly involved but also those around them. One of the most poignant moments for Eddie is when he meets the Blue Man, a former circus performer who died because of a mistake Eddie made many years ago. The Blue Man's death weighs heavily on Eddie, making him come to terms with the impact of his actions and the responsibility he holds for the lives he has unknowingly touched. As Eddie continues to meet the other people from his past, he sees how his actions, both positive and negative, have shaped the course of their lives. He learns that even the smallest gesture of kindness can have a lasting impact, just as a moment of anger or neglect can leave scars that never fully heal. Through these encounters, Eddie comes to understand the interconnectedness of all lives and the profound effect his actions can have on others. He realizes that no man is an island, and that every action, no matter how small, can make a difference in someone else's life. In death, Eddie discovers the true impact of his actions on others, and the power he holds to shape the world around him.
