"It's good to learn from others, so you don't have to learn expensive lessons yourself"
I read this quote long ago, and I have been learning from others ever since
I know people irl who destroyed themselves/their families by gambling activities, there is this story of Mahabharta [1] where king Yudhisthira was led to ruins by gambling — so what saved you from doing stupid in gambling?
Gambling should be considered as entertainment, but gambling should not be used as a means of earning money. Those who have taken gambling as a means of earning money have become addicted to gambling and have destroyed themselves/their families. Not only from the stories of Yudhishthi in India, I have seen many people who have destroyed themselves by gambling, not only themselves but also their families. Therefore, instead of considering gambling as a means of earning money, we should consider gambling as entertainment. If gambling is considered as entertainment, then it will be possible to enjoy gambling, besides gambling will push a person towards destruction.I read this quote long ago, and I have been learning from others ever since

Quote from: [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabha_Parva
The last two parts describe the one vice and addiction of the virtuous king Yudhishthira – gambling. Shakuni, encouraged by Duryodhana, mocks Yudhishthira and tempts him into a game of dice. Yudhishthira bets everything and loses the game, leading to the eventual exile of the Pandavas.
