You're right, gambling is not for everyone because there are people who get hot-tempered, can't handle losses, can't control themselves, etc. Gambling is dangerous for such people, they are the ones who get addicted quickly. We know that gambling relieves stress sometimes, it often gives you stress especially if you are serious about life. If you gamble, always think of your family, always set a budget that you should not exceed. It's easy to be a responsible gambler as long as you know what you're doing.
Some people will easily hurt others because of their frustrations and when you partner it with losing in gambling it will be more serious and others are gonna be in trouble while they have a kind of that person in their house or community. I remember when I had a friend and he was good at playing pools because that's one of the sports in our community that they make bets out of while playing. My friend was just a young guy and when he won big money from those big men, they made some evil plot against him while he was going home and they took his money from him after seriously beating him in the middle of the road and that's only one example of persons that are not supposed to be playing games like that because they cannot handle the heat when they lose their money.
Certainly, the world is difficult. Your friend's fate is a hard reality check. Gambling, like any sport, is a mirror of human nature. Indeed, it can be ugly. Many lose their calm when money is involved. Its not just the game, right? Its the rush, highs, and lows, and sometimes we act our worst.
However, gambling isnt wicked. As with fire, it can cook food or burn a house. How you handle it matters. Responsible gambling is crucial. It should be entertaining and thrilling, not a battleground. Remember that skill, strategy, and luck are also important. We must promote healthy gambling and inform them of the risks and benefits. Playing wise and safe in the game and outside is important.
And as the saying goes "Don't play with fire if you don't want to get burned"
Likewise, when we talk about gambling, never gamble if we cannot bear the losses, because after all when talking about gambling, this is an activity that apart from giving us pleasure, gambling can also cause losses. It depends on who plays it, if the person playing it is someone who is wise enough and able to control themselves over the gambling they do, then this activity will not be quite detrimental. But if on the contrary, the person often behaves carelessly and loses control when gambling, then it is certain that the gambling he does will only lead to losses, be it financial, time or otherwise.
And what you say is true, that evil is not gambling and it is not wrong gambling, so that we often suffer losses. However, we ourselves are often the ones who misunderstand gambling. Where gambling should be used as a means to get pleasure, but because we misunderstand it, we actually think otherwise that gambling is a place to seek profits and multiply money.
