Well there is a few accidents with people playing video games such as death and some gamers dont eat for a few days, They also take up time
These lines taken from "The Snow Man" might be interpreted in these ways. One possibility is to have an objective view of the nature of a winter landscape without attributing any personal emotions to it. The other interpretarion is the assiciation of winter with misery, sadness and loneliness, the feelings that are related to the picture of the wind blowing with just a few leaves.
Answer:
I believe that in day to day circumstances, yes. We can control when we brush our teeth and what we put on our toast. Overall though, we cannot control our fate. In most religions and prominently in greek myths, fate is something higher you cant control. When someone tries to control there fate that is when they often make the worst happen. Fate is what will happen and cannot be persuaded or changed at all.
Hope this helped.
