The Interconnectedness of All
There is one (of many) Buddhist sayings that nothing happens by chance and if, as you walk through a huge crowd of people, your arm brushes for a moment against someone, then it is because you were deeply connected to that person in former lifetimes, either as their child, parent, spouse, student, teacher, enemy, friend. Now whether or not such a thing can be true, the manner in which it EMPOWERS us to think of the interconnectedness of all beings can only be a good and positive force in our life and in the world.
