Just a card game

I don't believe you can be good at Solitaire. Being good at Solitaire would be like being good at life. There is no actual skill involved, you simply try to make the best out of the cards you're dealt. You can strategize all you want but you never know what card will turn up next. Sometimes it means "winning" and at times it means "losing". But who defines what is winning or losing? Can we just simply assume that ending with all cards in four nicely sorted stacks equates a win?

Well...what if I don't want four nicely sorted stacks? If I don't get four nicely sorted stacks does it still mean I lose?

And if not to win, by getting all cards in four nicely sorted stacks, then what was the point of playing at all? Was it to not win or was it to win? Or is it to play the best you can, to enjoy the game and to throw the labels to the wayside and simply learn to live?
