A coin flips, flips and falls on one side. Like that, fate is determined and life is lived in both mystery and ruins.
A man wishes for something, and all he gets is what he is given. Another lives his life and gets both of what he wants and what is given. A time and place have to be perfect for one to move forward. If not, then they are stuck with what they got.
