Listen to poem:

Fate Reset

Is fate a journey or a destination?
Like directions given on map app
   that simply resets if you make a mistake.
There is no complaint, no harsh word,
   the app simply finds another way.
But how important is the pathway,
   the steps on the way to your destiny?
Does it matter how you get there?
What path you took 
   and what happened on your journey.
Eventually even the app gets frustrated:
Go Back! You are going the Wrong Way!
