It does not matter if you go straight to your target, or take the long way around, you will always be guided to where you are supposed to go. And I am not implying here that the high and mighty elite are controlling our every move, because I do not believe they can contro l us at the individual level, at least not all of us all the time.
The one thing that can guide us all the time is the perfectly balanced and super-symmetrical nature of the Grand Overall Design. Some call it God, others Allah, but that's not important. The nasty thing about it is that often, those that use different names all think the others are wrong. If we could only get past that, then the world would be a far better place.
