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?
Past is past and he did learned a lesson from it and that's for sure. If I were on his shoe, I'll feel the same but that's the result of being an addicted gambler. So when he was younger, he's addiction is severe. Take this as a lesson and I know there are more people that are experiencing this thing and if you don't want this to happen to your life, you should be responsible.
Well, you're not a really wealthy man if you have to steal money from your parents.
Admit it or not most of us did this thing and right now we are into paying them from those mistakes. Although it's really a shame for you if your parents did know that you are gambling with their money. The best thing to do is to admit your mistake and maybe do something good for the sake of your parents and correct your mistake.
i think it is different from person to person, from place to place, from religion to religion, and from society to society, in some place gambling is consider as sin and there if you will continue gambling people will consider you not as a good person, and you yourself will feel shame to play gambling so openly and therefore you will try your best to play gambling anonymously.
Even in society or in a country where gambling is forbidden, there are cases when a person completely begins to depend on gambling and becomes a drug addict. Of course, if a person played a couple of dollars in his pleasure, then there is nothing terrible, and when he drops a whole state, this is already a problem.
