You have got to play the game with the cards that have been dealt to you, and it is of no use for you to bewail your fate because you don't hold different ones.

Cheryl Strayed

Nature deals the cards without thought or care, and there is no point in blaming the dealer. All we can do is make the best of the hands we have been dealt.
