I am a frequent player of the Solitaire game on my phone, and I love the feature that allows me to "replay this game." I often do, wanting to see if a different move here or there would have made the difference in the outcome.
What I've found is that sometimes it does. Making a different decision as to what card to play can often result in a whole series of other moves that influence the final score. I've won several more games with a second strategy.
But sometimes replaying the game ends up without a victory, even when I know where many of the cards are hiding. The game takes a different path, but still does not end up with a win.
I think we forget about this second option in real life.
Often when we think of "do-overs," we believe that if we had the chance to do something differently it would all turn out better. And sometimes we're right.
But not always.
Life doesn't come with a "replay this game" option so we'll never know for sure. We just need to live it in such a way that we have no regrets about the cards we play and take each hand as it is dealt to us.
