Many people take gambling very naturally. Gambling becomes dangerous only when you play excessively. In my opinion, I don not see anything wrong with gambling as long as you do it excessively. You want to know how it can be acceptable or if you are wrong. I would say that raising this question is a brave act. We should not just blame gambling but also understand how it affects our society and individual humanity and find solutions.
Exactly, so it all depends on how you treat it, this applies to anything we do in life, sometimes something that is not too risky can have a very bad impact when done the wrong way, well especially with gambling which from the start is already a high-risk activity.
I will describe it like when you drive a car, when you are still in the learning stage then the risk of an accident is very high but when for example you already know and understand how to control and operate the car then the possibility of you having an accident is small, so the point is to know first about what activity you are actually doing.
Basically anything that is done excessively and without knowledge will always end badly, so of course it is true that the fault lies in yourself and not in the activity you are doing.
