A game of cards

Prompt: "Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will" ~ Jawarharlah Nehru


Answer: I think uses the term determinism as opportunities a person comes across in life and play as what you do with those opportunities. It is entirely up to you what you take advantage of and what you do not. Like a game though, the hand you play might be bad or good depending on what cards you have.
