The Interplay between Decision and Chance

Cruising down the all too familiar lanes of my locality with random thoughts about world domination and Susheela Raman and the travails of a working middle-class guy in my head, I am assailed by this feeling of uncertainity - about the consequence of my routine decisions; Decisions which i would categorise as not-so-important. For example, when I was cruising down the lane, I had to either take a left or a right to proceed further to my home. Now, it really did not matter if I took a left or a right, I would end up in my place with all my bones in place in either case alright! - a not-so-important decision. Or is it?

How different would have my life been if I had taken that left instead of that right ?

Everyday decisions - throwing out garbage, taking your dog out for a walk, buying provisions, "every breath you take, every move you make"
