Lately, I've been having a tough time with sports betting, and my winning percentage is disappointingly low. It's driving me crazy, despite considering myself a rational person. Some claim that engaging in gambling activities can cultivate composure and rationality, shielding individuals from emotional fluctuations and preventing excessive excitement or frustration due to wins and losses. However, I don't feel that way. Losing repeatedly only deepens my frustration, and it takes quite a while to recover from that gloomy state.
Sometimes, when I come across statements suggesting that gambling can help develop self-control and emotional management, I find it rather amusing. I believe that one's personality traits are not nurtured by gambling; rather, gambling acts as a mirror reflecting the inherent characteristics of an individual. If someone has a tendency to lose their temper, it's not gambling that causes it, but rather their preexisting disposition. Gambling merely amplifies their temperament when they experience losses.
So, if someone claims that gambling can foster qualities like resilience and composure, I strongly disagree. You are who you are, and gambling only serves as a mirror that magnifies your existing traits. If gambling appears to change someone's character, I don't think gambling should bear the blame. |
