A major concept of systems theory is interdependence. Everything is connected to each other. Everything we do affects other people and the people that will be born in the future; while others’ action can affect us as well. However, your effect in other people’s life does not end in your “death”, it goes on and on as the effect you did to others will affect others, and so on and so forth. You’re ideas, emotions, and physical doings, affect people continuously.
A great example of this concept is a book called The Five People You Meet in Heaven, by Mitch Albom. The book shows how the main character’s actions affect others and others’ actions affect his life. I think as people, we need to be aware of this concept that what we do affect others more than we think, and we affect more people than we normally think.

I see as a chain, everything we do is going to happen and happen for a reason. I once know a person that was dieing of cancer and when he dies I realized that life was still going to go on .I then realize that affected his family and friends and everybody he left. Everything is connect, emotion and knowledge and all. To have a better of understanding of life, you should have a better understanding of interdependence.
