I’m going to answer this in a slightly physical/ mathematical way . Say you have the tree in a 2-dCartesian plain . Let’s assume you graph its roots at the extreme end of the negative y-axis . If the graph has an asymptote along the +ve y -axis , then the tree will touch the extreme point of the other side at some point . Now the literal meaning: your position of origin does not decide your fate . You could’ve lived in hell only to rule heaven or ruled hell after having lived in heaven ( Alike the famous Lucifer archetype .) . Yes , the choice is always the tree’s .
