What could make you get into a fight with your fellow gambler?
I won't fight with anyone not to talk of gambling..The only time I would fight, is when I have to defend myself or protect my loved ones. There are many ways that the issues would have been resolved but of all ways they chose the most primitive methods.
It is really best to not get into a fight, no matter if they call you a coward on that, because what I've learned is that if ever you get into a fight, let's say you are the stronger one, but what if that opponent dies, like when you punch him and get knocked down but hit his head in the side walk and dies? Yes, you are really strong, but for sure you'll face jail time on that. That is why it is better to be called a coward than to fight.
I agree with you that engaging in war means nothing but harm here, will never bring anything good. Then it becomes difficult to protect yourself, so you have to try to solve the problems according to your own efforts and abilities, without trying to fight with others. Whenever there is a war, in the hope of winning a little, interest is hidden there in deep addiction and then how much self is lost from life, the gain of war will cause more damage instead.
