Are we all connected?

I like to think that we are all connected some how or another. Whether that be through friends, cousins, friends of friends, cousins of cousins. Or you were in the same place at the same time of someone you didn't know at the time, then life brings you together years later.
I'm just going to break up how my mind sees this (I hope you can follow along):
I have all my family members on both sides of my family.
They all have their families members on their other side of the family.
My friends have friends who have friends and it may go all the way down this line of friends and end right at another friend of mine.

Hypothetically, it is even possible that I go to the Disneyland tomorrow and when I get something to eat, there are no more empty tables my friends and I are forced to sit at a table where people have already occupied it. We may end up talking to these guys and just developing conversation. Then it turns out, 10 years from now I don't remember the lunch at Disneyland very well, but when I go into a Starbucks to get some morning coffee the guy in front of me in line drops his drink and I help him clean in up. Neither of us remember having lunch with each other at Disneyland but the course of life led us to the same Starbucks location of the same morning.

Maybe it seems a little weird, or different. But maybe it's true. Maybe if you are in this world long enough, you meet so many people and get to experience so many things, that bits and pieces of your life and eventually connected to everyone else's.

Or maybe it's not and we are all just living our own lives or meeting our own people just like everyone else.
What do you think?

Whether we are connected or not,
be kind to one another!
