        One's fate/destiny can't be shared. Mushrooms in the traditional African context were chanced upon. Fate too was never by design

        First, it recognises a fact that everyone has a fair share in something and thus one cannot purport to take what belongs to another. What is not yours should be left to the owner alone. What is yours, no one should take or claim it.

        You can't take someone else's due provision. Destiny wins. If it was my job, it will be my job.

        Some mushrooms are poisonous. If you pick them and wrong ones are also consumed and the diner dies then you had ill feelings towards that person (s).

        1- The look, feel and taste of a mushroom is in the eye of the beholder. No one else has Your eye. Or 2- No one can live your life for you.
