Nope, I feel cool. I like people to talk about how much I gambled (makes an image of a wealthy man as I am).
Felt shame only in the past when I took loans to gamble and had stolen money from my parents. Dumb I was when I was younger
You should definitely feel ashamed for doing those things in the past. I guess you must have learned your lesson about stealing money from parents just for gambling. You must already know that it would not bring any good in you and would only cause you trouble.
As for me, I think there is nothing to be ashamed for in being a gambler as long as you know for yourself that you did not do anything wrong just to gamble.
Well if he at least took something from that and became a better person thanks to this experience then who are we to judge?
