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?
We don't have any rights to judge others, despite how they chooses to live their own life. They choose to be a responsible gambler because they have set their mind on it, and they still maintain their mindsets positively, I guess that's the reason why they didn't get addicted to gambling. From what you said, it is actually obvious that their consistency in gambling doesn't affect their emotions, and this really shows how stable their emotions is.
I actually don't know how to define this their behaviour, is it that their addicted to gambling or what? But, I actually don't see it as an addiction, maybe it's just their source of happiness.
