My peace of mind was more important to me at this day over every other thing. I could definitely place a bet some other day, but not on the end of the year.
This happens when a person fails to see the true purpose of gambling and ends up viewing it as a source of income, where losing causes great sadness and disappointment. As a self-defense mechanism, they decide not to gamble on the day they intend to have fun. But if a person viewed gambling purely as a form of entertainment, then they could gamble even at the end of the year and have a lot of fun. Few people are able to see gambling as a form of entertainment.
In my opinion, I gamble most of the times for the profits because I may not have enough to gamble for fun so I cannot take chances on betting on possibilities that could be unimaginable.
This is a path that leads to ruin in most cases; the person loses control, loses all their possessions, loses their family, and loses good mental health by becoming addicted to gambling. Rethink your perspective on gambling.
