Summary

This quote suggests that individuals have some control over their destiny, represented by the various choices and opportunities that they encounter in life. However, fate is portrayed as an unchangeable and predetermined path, akin to a one-way street with no alternative routes. The quote emphasizes that while people possess the agency to determine the outcome of their destiny, their fate is ultimately sealed and cannot be altered. This viewpoint implies that while individuals may shape their own journeys, they are still subject to the greater forces that govern their ultimate destination.
