Answer by book_worm22
I think it’s trying to say that our choices are what brings us to our realities. For example, a person who chooses to do drugs must face the consequence of the grim reality they face: addiction and other hardships on them and their families.

The second part of the quote, “or that reality is illusion and so is choice,” means to say that reality isn’t really real. It’s all an illusion. Therefore, we are under the impression that what is happening to us is real, and think that we make our own choices. But really, we don’t make our own choices-they are predetermined, and the “reality” of these choices is our predestined fate. It’s all in the stars, really.

Well, that’s my interpretation of it. I hope it wasn’t too confusing.
