We all associate gambling with fun, excitement, and enjoyment

There is a reason why casinos are brightly lit and has fast paced music. The overall idea of gambling should be energetic and exhilarating. Well, in my country, you might find gambling in a less thrilling environment such as a funeral.

Yes, it is very common in my country that whenever there is a funeral there will be people playing cards and gambling against each other.

I don’t know if this is common in other countries but I never really thought twice of the fact that gambling, which is usually associated with time for pleasure, can be found in a place that is so grievous.

I researched just now and found that some gamblers do in fact use gambling as a form of escape from their real life. Which is why you might find a lot of people just recently went through a divorce or death of a loved one gambling. I guess this is why there are always people gambling in funerals. Obviously over time I think it just became more of a tradition rather than an actual act of escape from mourning.

Personally I don’t think it’s a good idea to use gambling as a coping mechanism especially that your emotions will be the one driving your decisions and that almost never end well. It’s fine sometimes but I find that dealing with your emotions especially negative ones can be much helpful than turning into potentially harmful vices.

But What about you? Do you also use gambling to escape from stress of the real world?

When we do speak about gambling in funeral then it do turns out that this is really that become a tradition on which this isnt something that could really be stopped or could really be removed. This is why it is really that much better that just let them be and mind on your own because when it comes to gambling then it is really just that for the sake of entertainment but making it as an escape when it come to stress or something then it is really just that depending on how you do expect something from it. On the time that you do gambling then it does get involved that when it comes to loses or simply with your finances. If you are that not good when it comes to self control then you do end up on becoming that addicted into it.

Mourning and doing some gamble is something that pertains on getting some amount from those games for it to be helped into those family were been affected. Yes,its a good thing yet this could generate up some money somehow. This is usually common on asia pacific countries when it comes into this matter.  Each country does have their cultural values and behaviors on which it might that look up that bad into other peoples eyes but we dont really know on what are the things behind or with those reasons.
Doesnt matter on whats the reason, on just on personal view then you should be that having the good control when it comes to gambling.
