In essence, making gambling an escape from life problems experienced, it is the wrong way and very inappropriate. I do not care what the background of the person when having problems then choose gambling as an escape, because the result will make his life worse. Instead of gambling for escape,it would be more appropriate to avoid gambling when having problems and choose to go on vacation and or other things that can increase happiness to overcome the problems experienced. Because if anyone gambles whenhaving problems, the main concern is that you experience defeat in gambling and that will make the problems experienced worse and if that situation happens, it will be more difficult to overcome it.
I agree with you, however, it might be better not to gamble when we are in a bad situation like making it an escape is not recommended because most likely what can happen is that it can make us experience a more difficult or worse situation, therefore it is better to find an escape, find a way or other activities that are not like gambling.
An unstable state of self and coupled with the most likely occurrence of gambling that is done is defeat, it is possible that it can make us emotional and yes, a more difficult and complicated situation can occur.
