why gamble??

God knows I have asked tons of people about it, and yet I still could not fully understand all the ways around it.

-

We gamble because we're brave enough to take chances.  We have faith.  We're willing to give up one part of what we have for the sake of getting more, even without an assurance of actually having it.
Some do "all or nothing".Others "try, win/lose; and repeat if necessary".

-

We all have this weird way of thinking about gambling and faith; and how it really works.  Sometimes, we just don't give up, even if we're losing a lot already.  We just shrug it off and say it's part of taking risks.  We have this thinking that one of these days all the risks will pay off; that what we've lost will be replaced - and more.

And if it doesn't, then we're just left fucked up with our own decisions.  But we walk away from it thinking that at least we tried.

-

But why do all of that?Because it's both ridiculously scary and liberating at the same time to completely fall for something without a safety net.  And we love getting the highs off of it.

-

So, are you willing to gamble now?

Famous last words:
"It is everything it's cracked up to be.  That's why people are so cynical about it.  It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for.  And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything, you risk even more."
