But at the same time there are quite a number of absolutes when dealing with life that one can have a vague idea of what's to come. And if you think about it, involving yourself in decisions that are chocked full of unreliable variables is a choice unto itself and in choosing that you can rely on the fact that the outcome or consequence is unreliable. <br />To look at it another way, people count cards, read other peoples expressions, have an ace up their sleeve, while playing poker and narrow down their possibility of losing. I guess in this I am trying to say that even poker could be predictable based on the intelligence and experience of the player. Then again in poker and in chess there are rooms for mistakes, underestimating your opponent, which brings us around to another unpredictable variable again, OURSELVES.D.

Life however is a game of imperfect information. Often you do not have enough information to make rational decisions and must adapt therefrom. In that way life is much more like poker than chess.Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506141014376919585noreply@blogger.com
