Five+People+four

=The Five People You Meet in Heaven= Discussion Question 4

**The five people are not necessarily who Eddie would have expected to meet. What might Albom be saying about the way our lives touch other lives and what is significant?**
That's the magic of the story, one never knows what impact one will have on another. That's the real reason we need to be on our best behavior, treat one another with dignity and respect and to be on the look out for any glimmer of something special the "Cosmos" wishes to reveal to us while we are alive and can really appreciate it. Conan

Albom brings to light that we are all connected. Life is full of sacrifices, but a loss for one is a gain for another. Our lives are built on those who come before us. Hatred is poison. Ultimaltely, it only makes us hurt ourselves. We must learn to forgive. Life ends, but love endures.--lj
