Wonderful analogy on life’s many choices. Thank you! My sister used this saying to move on with life and responsibility. Just don’t play cards with me because I can make you choose the card of my choice. 😉

The difference between life and a game of cards, is that we don’t typically know the rules when we first start playing. Even the rules we’re taught, depending on our upbringing, may not be the most helpful to play the best game. Throw in the fact that different people think there are different rules, or even different games, and knowing which cards to keep and which to discard then becomes very difficult.

I appreciate that we all have choices, and that we can all choose to act differently than we have acted in the past. I think it is hard to fault people, however, when they have been playing by one set of rules, the ones they were taught, and it gets them into trouble, because everyone else is playing by a different set of rules.
