Let me share a moment from my life when I unintentionally entered what seemed like a mysterious realm - gambling. Initially, I approached it with a curious mindset, as many people around me were discussing it. I believed I could control it and wouldn't fall into excessive habits, but I underestimated the powerful influence of the gambler's mentality.
At first, I occasionally participated in small-scale gambling activities, and my bets were not substantial. My luck was favorable initially, and the joy of winning created an illusion that I could predict the future. I began to believe I was a lucky person, favored by fate. Consequently, I increased my bets, chasing higher rewards.
However, my winning streak didn't last. The fluctuations in luck left me in a state of anxiety and insecurity. Whenever I lost money, I blamed myself for not making the right choices, feeling like I missed out on opportunities. But when I won, I became immersed in endless excitement, craving more victories. Winning and losing became the central theme of my life, and I couldn't break free from the obsession with winning.
Gradually, gambling started consuming most of my time. I no longer cared about my daily work and responsibilities; instead, I became obsessed with finding the next gambling opportunity. I became reckless, impulsive, and greedy, chasing what appeared to be endless chances. Even after losing all my money, I firmly believed that one more try could change my fate, making me wealthy overnight. My family and friends noticed my transformation. They tried to help, persuading me to quit gambling, but I turned a blind eye, believing they didn't understand my thirst for victory. I gradually distanced myself from them, isolating myself in a lonely world.
Then, one day, I completely broke down. I lost everything I gambled, and I felt hopeless. I realized I had fallen into an uncontrollable vortex. I had lost my job, the support of friends and family, and I was drowning in darkness. After what felt like an eternity of struggle, I finally realized that this gambler's mindset had destroyed everything in my life. I couldn't continue to drown in the world of gambling; I had to change and regain my composure. Looking back, I don't even know what gave me the strength to change.
Through this experience, I deeply understand the terrifying and destructive nature of the gambler's mindset. It's not just about chasing money; it's about self-worth denial. Today, I can enjoy small bets without losing control, perhaps because I hit rock bottom and had a profound awakening. I believe many people have gone through similar experiences.
