And playing gambling for too long really makes a person forget about time. They have too much fun gambling even though they have other activities. Especially if they have to fulfill their living needs by working, and they are also often late in doing something because they are still gambling.
Time spent can never be recovered. And when we spend more and more time doing nothing productive and meaningful to our lives, we end up starting to fail to discern and give importance and time to the important things in our lives.
And for someone who’s gainfully employed and married, giving more time to his gambling activities would certainly tell on his performance at work and affect his family life at home.
