“To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.”

The universe is a chaotic balance of interconnected systems. Every and all actions are defined by variables from the infinite sources of cause and effect.

only if you let it

Yes, ...but only in so far as a building's foundation dictates the limits of it's eventual shape, mass, etc.

Although every event leads to new possibilities that in turn lead to others, the past doesn't dictate each moment in a linear A - B - C fashion but each past moment or event will limit the range of possible future choices/paths that are available.

You've been watching Doctor Who haven't you.
