Weird: do you find that fate seems to propel you in one direction and choice is only a minor part?

Question

Up the snakes and down the ladders. Or my strategically planned chess game of life, and then somebody makes an absurd move and everything is lost? Back to the lines mapped out on the palms of your hands???

Answer 1

Looking to the past (and hence up to the present), fate seems to be involved.

Looking from the present on to the future, choice seems to be involved.
