Meaning
This points to the chain reaction inside ordinary life, where one choice or chance encounter quietly alters the next step. It can be taken to mean that history is often made by small turns as much as dramatic ones. The line lands when someone looks back and realizes a casual meeting, a delay, or a brief decision changed everything that followed.
