In order to understand the psychology of gamblers, i have decided to come up few questions for discussions, and here is the first one.

Suppose that you are a responsible gambler who have allocated a certain portion of money to gamble each month. Now you came across a poor person/family who is in urgent need of money. Will you quit the gambling for that month and give the allocated money to the poor family or will you prefer to gamble as you can't live without gambling ?

In my case, I can do that I have similar situation in the past and it's for my relatives, but it will depend on my relationship with that poor family if they are just acquaintances I just give a portion and ask them to ask for help to their relatives if they have relatives but if there is none I could give them my allocation it's ok to help but we should not deprive ourselves of something that we've allocated or else some people will abuse you, it's ok to help your relatives because it's your family and family should help each other.

Helping is a good deed but you should still know your limitations. Some poor people are used to relying on other people's help and they don't have the motivation to strive and work to survive. They are already contented on having at least a single meal a day.
I think the best help that we could be is to help them find a source of income just like the livelihood programs offered by the government so they would know how to strive for a better life. If we will just feed them without teaching them how to find ways to earn, we are just tolerating them to be lazy.
