Perry says, "Once a thing is set to happen, all you can do is hope it won't, or will - depending. As long as you live, there's always something waiting, and even if it's bad, and you know it's bad, what can you do?," which means that Perry believes in fate and that humans cannot change what is planned to happen in their lives. I do not agree with Perry's statement to Dick because I do not believe in fate. Fate, to me, is an excuse/reasoning for an action that people can either not explain or choose to ignore. Perry wants to believe in fate because he feels bad about killing the Clutter family, allowing for fate to be the reason why he acted in that way. Perry could have made the decision to not take part in the criminal actions Dick participated in, but he did causing him to blame the unchangeable fate he was born with. On a daily basis, humans make decisions that shape their lives. They chose the life they want to live, and always have two options, leaving no room for fate. This is why I do not agree with Perry's statement to Dick.
