爛賭成性
No matter if you're an addicted gambler or not, if you gamble means you had just gambled. I just had a talk over lunner (lunch + dinner) and mom just talked to me about gambling. From my 'gu gong' (grandmother's brother) to my 'yipo's (mom's aunt) husband' to daddy. I was playing sudoku then i suddenly stopped and looked up at her and said, “無論你大賭或小賭，爛賭或有節制的賭，賭就是賭。” Mom looked back at me and started to explain the difference in those who gambled excessively and those who can control their gambling habits. For mom too gambles, but she can control her gambling habits. Or at least that's what she said. I smiled and i asked her, "Mom, is smoking bad? How about doing drugs?" She paused for two minutes before continuing with utmost concern while asking me if i had abused them. I rolled my eyes and said, "Mom, what if one day i smoked and i come back and tell you that i can control my smoking. I wouldn't be addicted to it. Or what if one day i came back doing drugs and i tell you i can control myself. I wouldn't be addicted to them? And indeed, i can and won't be addicted. Would you still allow me?" Mom looked horrified and said a firm NO. Then i spoke softly, "There you go mom, my stand towards your viewpoint." Mom wasn't happy. She tried to explain and said those were all different issues but i believe my point was made. I never bother to ask someone to stop gambling/smoking/doing drugs for i know it's fruitless. Unless they can stop abusing it completely, if not no matter if you're just buying a $2 lottery/smoking one stick of cig/popping one ecstasy pill, or betting $10K in one game of poker/smoke one pack per day/keeping on injecting morphine into yourself, it's the same. What you just did was gambled/smoked/did drugs. Yes, you might have controlled yourself but it doesn't change what you just did. You might said it wasn't so bad but it's the same. I don't like to have different levels of definition of buying a $2 lottery is okay but betting $2K on poker is wrong. $2 or not, you gambled. That's it. Why bother explaining? Why bother telling me that able to control is alright? For i don't even bother to advise or changing your viewpoint anymore. Sometimes, it's not that i chose not to care but it really is beyond my means of caring...
