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?

It is a pity that these people find motivation not in family life and not in the love in the eyes of their children, but in trying their luck again and again experiencing disappointment because they chose as their main hobby a place where luck rules the roost and not skills.
In fact, I have heard a lot about how people are really motivated by gambling and start working like never before, especially when they have to pay off debts. And this is sad, because in normal life these people could have achieved great success, earning more than usual.

A big problem is that who tried to change their luck through gambling. They tried to use almost all the money they earned on gambling. If they had used this money for some other purpose instead of trying to get rich, then there would have been no disaster in their lives. There is joy in gambling but when the money that is spent on family expenses is used on gambling, there is no joy.

Some people in gambling who work very hard to manage their gambling money but I will not appreciate that effort because they hove no limit in gambling. Even if they earn a lot of money, if they cannot bear the expenses of their family or personal expenses, then there is no advantage in earning a lot of money.
