With all respect, we all have our individual experiences. My own was to discover more meaningful options to playing the hand that was dealt. I'm not into or up to a difference of opinion discussion, just saying, for me, if I had "played the dealt hand" I would have never sobered up. None of us are cookie-cut from some "play what your dealt" scenarios. There is no "normal" for being human, in a family, in the world. For science, yes, statistics are meaningful. For practical everyday life purposes, not so much, imo. For my books, actual life experience is everything.
