Whirlpool

The collective existence ubiquitously referred to as "life" is a whirlpool: The force near the edges are weak such that you can decide whether you want to ride the torrent or evade it. But near the center, there comes a point where you will be consumed and, if you are lucky, you are ejected to a new place. If not, you die. Fate is the force that spins beneath you. Take care where you cross it because, once it takes hold, where you end up is no longer yours to choose.
