In the game of life do you play the cards your dealt, or discard them for

It's a non question.

In the game of life there is no way to change cards. Life IS the hand you are dealt. Everything within that life is still just a succession of your reactions to the cards (situations) life hands you.

Your only choices are HOW you wish to react to those circumstances you are faced with.

Some people like to think they are not playing the game or that they are somehow outsmarting reality by not engaging in it but that's just a colorful illusion of the mind. To not be a part of it is impossible. To try to say anything otherwise is simply word games which have no basis in the truth of reality.

The only way to change cards in life is to die and that's simply folding your hand.

Hope this helps

I say it is best to play with what you are dealt. Always strive to be better at whatever you do. But there has to be a starting point. If you want to do something different you can always start over.
 
I play the cards I am dealt. I feel if we try to interfere with what is given to us, then we are not living the life we are supposed to be living. To gain the experience we were meant to have. If we do not experience what we are suppose to do, then we aren't really living, just existing.
 
I would say that life is not at all like a game of cards where you can discard your cards (a somewhat obscure analogy),
this is an interesting but obscure questions that is more literal than philosophical
 
You get new cards to play each day, you get new cards with every decision you make.

It's more about the cards you're holding when the game is over.
 
discard them for different ones

Take a moment to check and see if you are actually here. Before there is right or wrong, we are just here. Before there is good or bad, or unworthy, and before there is the sinner or saint, we are just here. Just meet here, where silence is~ where the stillness inside dances, Just here, before knowing something, or not knowing. Just meet here where all points of view merge into one point, and the one point disappears. Just see if you can meet right now where you touch the eternal, and feel the eternal living and dying at each moment. Just to meet here~ before you were an expert, before you were a beginner.

Kenny Rogers said it best...

You've gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away and know when to run!
You never count your money while you're sittin at the table, there'll be time enough for countin when the dealins done.
 
I deal it, i play it.That's how life should be, you win or loose fair and square.
