I also believe that life is always a gamble, In doing decision you should make it and sometimes you don't know if you have done the right thing or not, You can surely apply to gamble in everything that you decide, You should always believe that there is no turning back there is no reverse in life if you do anything stupid there is no rewind to bring you back in time just like in gambling if you lose your money there is no chance in regaining it all back again,
Well in apply gambling with games definitely we can sure gamble with friends and there should be stakes prepared for it because if there are not that is not gambling but only a game that doesn't have any consequence or risk involve.
That's the truth, and what matters more is that you learn from your mistakes. Its good that we have the same outlook that you shouldnt regret the things you did. I think in life, its important to experience mistakes before anything else because the next time you encounter, you would know what to do.
I like to think that you could help friends with their habits but there are just some people who won't help you. The truth hurts but it's better to know things to improve yourself.
Mistakes are the best teachers in life you can surely learn by experiencing all of those, I really think this is just a stepping stone for many people that are frustrated in life the wrongdoings you have done in the past can end up in a positive outcome you can also turn into a stepping stone,
Well, you can help a friend who is in need if he is responsible enough to accept his mistakes, And sometimes friends would surely not help you with any problems you have, But your family is the one support you can lean on in times of need, That is for certain the only one who can sure help you in times of need.
