ADVICE TO A FRIEND — GAMBLING

  

In spite of being fully aware of the Divine Decree pronounced of man, ‘In the sweat of thy brow thou halt earn thy bread,’ he could not fully keep his faith in this saying. He is not fully satisfied with his own honest earning, but hankers after getting something big without toil and trouble. If anything accidentally comes to his possession he calls it the gift of fortune. He forgets that things obtained without labour ie,, through luck or by chance cannot give him as real pleasure as do those gained through honest labour.  A man who is gifted with such fortune, considers himself as a more trustee and not the real owner of the things. He doubts that the gifts are either more or less than he actually deserves. The trail of luck in whatever form is full of risk and uncertainty.
