It would seem that to the person making the choice their decision would matter to them because it would have an impact on their life. But is that really the case? When you think about it on a much larger scale, one individulas choice doesn't have much of  an impact  on the world. In Deanna's case she is reflecting on the fact that what she wants doesn't really matter in terms of how it will affect the world around her. The world will remain the same regardless of what she chooses, "The world was what it was." Just as everything in nature people live and die so in the long run individual choice really doesn't matter.
