I dont entirely agree, or at least i partially agree. Emotions are what make us human and different from computers and machines that lack that emotional drive.
This is what distinguishes us and we must maintain this, the problem is not the emotions but the reason that pushes us to use them, the game must remain a game
I really don’t follow through on your argument and I don’t mean the part where our emotions makes us human as that’s a fact but, I don’t follow through on the other context of it with respect to the quote in your comment but what I’ll say is this:
There is always going to be a reason and you can’t take that from any activity and most of all, gambling. These would be the trigger quite alright but, your emotions and will power defines how you react to the outcome of whatever it is.
Emotions in gambling is an after effect that should be managed properly else, you could create such a mess of your finances.
