In other words, in the relative framework of a photon, whatever it's leaving and whatever it arrives at are brought together to a zero distance-- i.e. they share the same point.A photon is timeless in it's own frame. The photon cannot change anything. From a photon's reference, all places share a single point. However, because no time passes for the photon, it cannot be 'aware' of anything. From a photon's perspective, it never was.
From our perspective, a myriad of things can change the path of a photon. The path is not determined. (Unless one goes with Laplace's demon perspective.)
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
