Matters of The Heart - Gambling

Gambling

Gambling is defined as a vice internationally. It is known to destroy families, educated individuals and even multi-millionaires. Singaporeans are relatively being held away from the darkness of gambling due to the strict control of our government. However, in addition to the current 4D, House Racing, TOTO, Soccer and Jackpot room gamble, Singapore will go ahead with the plans to build two Integrated Resorts (casinos) on Marina Bay and Sentosa. This matter will definitely open more doors for gamblers to maneuver in.

Without knowing, you gamble in a way or another everyday. Check this out, you have a higher chance of dying from driving a car to work compared to you catching SARS or the Bird Flu, yet many still drive. Entrepreneurs start businesses with tens of thousands of dollars with no confirmation that at the end of the day they will receive a return of a hundred folds yet still they proceeded with undocumented faith. A guy proclaims his love to a girl, knowing that if he fails he might set into depression and rejection but yet he would still go on without knowing the final destination.

So is gambling morally right or wrong? Should people gamble responsibly or should they not gamble at all just in case they fall deeper into temptation to take up a higher level of gambling? What is your stand?
