Have you ever experienced the moment in gambling when you've already lost miserably, but there's a nagging feeling inside that makes you choose to continue headstrong? I believe that the vast majority of people have gone through similar periods. Sometimes, I really feel that people who gamble have a spirit of not wanting to admit defeat, a "never give up" attitude. Although I used to have such a personality myself, my impulsive nature when I was young caused me some losses, especially in gambling. After hitting rock bottom, I stopped considering gambling as my lifeline and began to treat it as an ordinary hobby.
But as someone with experience, I'm hesitant about whether to intervene in the affairs of the younger generation. Mainly because I'm a person with my own history and I know that when emotions are running high, I couldn't listen to what others were saying. In fact, I often found it annoying when people tried to lecture me. I would think, "Why do they enjoy acting as a mentor?" Some lessons can only be learned by experiencing the consequences firsthand. Advising such individuals often feels pointless.
So now, whether in work or gambling, when I encounter someone who seems to be heading down the wrong path, I do try to offer guidance. However, my mindset is more like doing what I can and leaving the rest to fate. If I've already told you, the rest is up to you. If they take my advice, it means they are not stubborn, and they've learned something with the least cost. For those who don't listen, I can only say that their fate may be bound for hardship, and I can only silently pray that the situation doesn't deteriorate to an irreparable extent.
So, offering well-intentioned advice is something I do to achieve peace of mind, and whether or not it's heeded is ultimately in the hands of the individual involved. |
