I have always seen greed as part of emotion, that is a type of emotion, I don't really know or understand how and if emotion and greed are two separate human characteristics, but I've always considered being greedy, as a type of emotion rather than see them separately..
Anyways, you are right about some gamblers who never listen until they've emptied their pulse, it is something that is normal mostly for gambling addicts, I have a friend like that, I always make reference of him in most of my post on this board, he's an addict and never listens, and I also have stopped advising him, when we meet such gamblers, it is better to sometimes leave them, what ever mistake they make is to their own peril, they will learn the hard way when the time is right for them to Learn.
That's right, I agree. If we are not professional psychiatrists, we can't do much to help them. The thing is that the brain of a gambling addict is ready to react to any advise against gambling. They may not be telling you, but the reaction will always be negative. You'll only turn people like that against you, and that would be it.
What I know is that it is not easy to control or help someone that is already an addict and we must try our best to let them know that gambling addiction is something that can be stop with the help of both parties. If a gambler is not ready to stop or too sluggish to put some certains to an end and help to set up a boundary then things is not going to work out well. It is obviously hard for a person to stop gambling when he is already addicted, the best thing to do is to help him reduce the addiction before putting an end to it.
