Summary

This quote suggests that life can be compared to a game of cards. The initial cards we are given (the hand) represent our circumstances and the factors beyond our control (determinism). However, how we choose to respond and make decisions (the way we play) reflects our freedom to exercise our own intentions and choices (free will). It emphasizes the idea that while we may not have control over the situations we are presented with, we still have agency and the ability to shape our own path through the choices we make.
