A subhāṣitam (a verse of wisdom):
āpadāṃ kathitaḥ panthā indriyāṇāmasaṃyamaḥ ।
tajjayaḥ saṃpadāṃ mārgo yeneṣṭaṃ tena gamyatām ॥
The unrestrained enjoyment of the senses is said to be the route to disaster
Control over the senses is said to be the way to good fortune.
You can however choose the path you’d like to travel on.
