How far do people go to feed a gambling addiction?
In this story we have a young bank teller, 28 years old lady, who stole 28,000$ from four different elders who were suffering from health and cognitive problems. Her goal was to fuel a gambling addiction, as presented by the defense at the court.
That’s surprising. I don’t know why people just have to do crazy things just because they want to gamble. Why do you have to steal from elderly people who are having health challenges just because you want to satisfy yourself? People like this are the ones that make most people think gambling is a bad activity, but they won’t know it’s just some people's stupidity. Gambling is supposed to be fun, and we shouldn’t do things that will hurt ourselves or other people. Seriously, the person should be properly punished so that next time things like that won’t repeat themselves and it’s going serve as warning to others.
The problem is, there won’t be fun anymore if we don’t have funds to sustain our gambling addiction. That’s why while looking for that fun, addicted gamblers have resorted into making certain decisions that will definitely put them into big troubles. Although they’re aware what will be the future consequences, but just to sustain their current addiction, they do things like stealing some funds so they can continuously enjoy their gambling addiction.
And its just a foolish decision that they had been made on on which we know that when it comes to this aspect then it would really be just that a complete waste of her position as a bank teller
on which she had exchanged it out for the amount that she had stolen or simply just because she had tolerated her gambling addiction on which its not really that worth it. She had lost her job
plus that getting imprisoned on what she had done then that really that included on the total risks on the moment that you will really be feeding up your addiction. We do know that when it comes
to possible impact that it could give then it would really be devastating on which we know that when it comes to this scenario then you would really putting up yourself on jail.
This is why self control and moderation will really be needing or something that will be significant from time to time.
