someone knows playing gambling must be because of an invitation from a friend or seeing a friend playing and then winning (it is impossible for him to know by himself) then the environment plays a big role in shaping a person's character and mindset
Gambling history has written that those who often play in casinos with friends will definitely drink alcohol or enjoy hookers together, there is a principle out there that says that doing things in groups is more fun
I would not disagree with you because environmental matters if you are being influenced to something else and you dislike another why being influence with the people by doing things that you don't know automatically the one that you hurt will actually follow you. but this scenario does not match with the subject of this strength I don't know how you drive it it is not that I am trying to win against your post but what I understand.
people realize it late - that what damage they are doing to themselves and the others.
it is good to realize that there is thin line between right and wrong and when you cross that line there is no undo button for it.
The thing is that before some people realise their mistake it take them so long. We know that environment is the shortest thing that can influence human being so if environment is involved the only thing that I can solve the problem is also environment so that is to relocate from the nail place you are at another place to save that particular soul
