Summary

This quote suggests that men can either be controlled by the circumstances they find themselves in or be the ones in control of their circumstances. At times, individuals may feel at the mercy of external factors and unable to shape their own destiny. However, it also emphasizes that there are instances when men have the power to shape the course of their lives and manipulate the circumstances around them. The quote serves as a reminder that our relationship with circumstances can be reciprocal and dynamic, where we can either be passive participants or active agents in shaping our own lives.
