In this era, money is what keep things going. It is not evil nor good because it's a tool that human have created to assign values to such material things. And we really do live in a material world, regardless if we are just feeding are needs or wants. That is why we work hard to earn money so we can afford our necessities and cravings.
The problem is it's hard to balance those two - needs and wants. That's why people blindly follows money.
We aren't perfect beings. There are times that we are blinded yes, but it is not the fault of money. Money itself is just a container of handwork we gain through our jobs. And two balance our necessities and cravings, we need to draw a line between them. Self control is very essential in our life. Personally, I am proud of self control especially in
online gambling because I can manage to control my bets and enjoy myself in the long run.
