My friends aunty called him on the call while we were conversing today, and she was complaining about how her son has withdrawn #20,000 approximately $15 from her account through mobile transfer to play bet and he lost it all.
She complained bitterly and pitifully because she struggled to safe such amount of money.
Now, the mum is calling on everyone she could to intervene, discipline the child and force him to provide the money in any means he can without the concern of how he could refund the money.
Question: would she be so disheartened and mad as this if the son had won the bet on a multi million price?
Dear fellows, let's assume you are the mom, what would be your state of mind on this context?
- Stealing is wrongdoing, we know; even if we say that he won a lot of money gambling, it can't be right. There is nothing wrong if you win at gambling; what is wrong is that gambling caused the gambler to do bad things.
That's why winning at gambling can't cover up the reason why he gambled. He will not be able to gamble if the gambler did not steal money or if the child stole money from the parents.
See the logic?
