While there is no way of ever knowing the predetermined course of our actions, it does not change the fact that all of our action and inaction alike still matter; they are, after all, the very inextricable elements that constitute that immutable course of the universe. Thinking that the choices do not matter is itself a choice that matters. Not thinking about the consequences of choices is also itself a choice that matters.

Indeed, the universe may already know what choice you will make and what thoughts will lead you to that choice, but, paradoxically, the act itself of relinquishing responsibility—or ignoring it altogether—is the action that, within a parallel universe, would lead you down a less favorable path.

If you were blessed enough to have the malleability and openness of mind that grants you the ability to discern, then make the right choice.
