Just want to share something I’ve observed in our community. I know a few people who are consistent gamblers, yet they also work really hard. It seems like gambling actually pushes them to hustle more, because they need money to fuel their gambling activities.
In their case, they’ve been gambling for years, but they’re still responsible with work, so I don’t see it as pure irresponsibility. Their motivation might be different, but they’re still putting in the effort, even if the end goal is just to fund their gambling.
So how do you see this kind of lifestyle? Do you judge them as wrong because their reason is gambling, or do you respect it since everyone has their own way of finding happiness?
If anyone should put so much effort in the work they do to fund their gambling lifestyle then they are in trouble and they need immediate advice because such persons could end up destroying the source of their income and go broke for a very long time. It really easy for a boss who has knowledge of your gambling habits to let you go because he might feel threatened of what you may do to his business because of your indisciplined with gamble. At least we've heard of situations like this, however if the person wishes to save his job then he should quit his addiction.
