Many people enter gambling seeking quick wealth, but is the problem just money? What really holds us back is the illusion of control and the expectation of instant rewards, isn't it?
Here are some points to reflect on:
- Greed isn't just financial: it's the desire for victory, excitement, and status.
- To what extent is gambling fun, and when does it become a way to escape reality?
- Can we learn something about ourselves through risk and the decision to gamble?
In other words, these are points that make us reflect, but until now, while I was reflecting, a question came to mind:
Is it possible to have a healthy relationship with gambling, or does it always awaken something dangerous within us?
The reality that many gamblers must face today is the importance of awareness and risk, as most gamblers only see gambling in terms of profit, without realizing there are several things to consider, such as gambling budget management, instant gratification, greed, etc.
In reality, gambling depends on self-control. If someone can view gambling solely as entertainment, much like watching a movie, the relationship can remain healthy and self control can be easily maintained. However, once gambling becomes an escape from life’s problems or a primary source of income, that’s when the dark side emerges and has the potential to cause harm.
