The world will end. The big picture cannot be changed. But in the meantime, as Loki once said, we can choose to alter the details. That's how we take control of our destiny.

The quote reflects an acceptance of life's inevitable end while emphasizing the power individuals have to shape their own experiences and choices in the here and now. It suggests that while the ultimate outcome is predetermined, the smaller aspects of our lives are within our control. By focusing on the details, we can influence our paths and experiences, taking charge of our destinies despite the larger, unchangeable truths of existence.

This perspective encourages a proactive approach to life. Rather than resigning oneself to fate, it advocates for making conscious decisions that impact daily living. In the context of adventure and growth, it highlights the importance of intention and agency, reminding us that every moment counts, and we hold the power to navigate the journey, even in the face of unavoidable conclusions.

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.
