Gambling & Risk.....

>>I have known compulsive gamblers, people who lost the rent money in Atlantic City, who hocked their furniture. An immoderate appetite for risk is not a good thing.......>>

Gambling is a pure expression of risk.

What's good or bad about it is up to each individual.

Think of the incredible potential of redirecting this energy to other targets - people and individuals who could benefit.

Define the gambler as "bad" and you only increase the velocity of the destructive black hole he/she may be caught up in.

Peace.
