Watched the movie about gambled which was directed by a Singaporean Actor, "Zhi Qiang" before? I bet a lot of the Malaysians and Singaporeans watched it before because his movies are kind of funny, and the most importantly, it make sense.
In the movie, it said something that make sense, on why people gamble, and here is the reason said by them, " These people gamble because that gives hope to them everyday. That is the reason why they were addicted to these behavior that we catogorized as bad. I kind of agrred on this phrase. People "sell-life" just to buy those tickets, lottery for hopes. They dreamed that once they strike the first prize, they will have a lot of money and strive less. Also, some of the bad phrases influenced by HK files suck as "you will stand a chnace if you forever gamble", this is a sucky phrase but still many people believe it. However, these noobs never think themselves on these phrases and what it really means.
Well, why i came up with such "article" out of a sudden, is because i got a chnace to see how these things recently, not that i didnt see these before. But it is the first time i felt so symphaty for these people...
These people spent a ringgit(RM) up to a few thousand just to "buy" the hope. They buy numbers, but they don't know the chnaces for thme to win a number is so so so so so so slight. Well, if you don't believe, you can ask Levin about it and he will calculate for you because his math is so darn good. They forever think that they will win one day. I saw some old ladies, paying money for the numbers they bought, old men doing the same thing like the old ladies, young guns like you and me parking their motorcycles outside the shop and buy the "heart-water" numbers when they are supposingly working and not spending time of these. I saw some house-wife, paying money for the numbers bringing empty buckets(arent they were supposed to be fill in with foods?), i even saw some look-a-like malays buying numbers although there is a sign-board in the shop saying,Gambling is prohibited for muslims, i thought these are against their Allah?
These people line-up in a long queue, or standing at the counter buysing writting the numbers. When the central offline , those that failed to buy the numbers will blame those typist because of their lack of efficiency indirectly casuing them failed to buy the numbers and lost the chnace to win the money.
But from my point of view, these people lose their soul, they failed because they were controlled by the desire, the disipline and the lust. Arent we human are well-known for self-control? What are the difference for human to n=animals if they cannot acheive this?
Some of the elders in the family said, "Xiao Du Yi Qing, Ta Du Shang Gan Qing", means, smaller bets do make you feel happy and nicer, it creates harmoney, but if you bet big, it hurts the relationship with someone. I kind of agree on this after i saw those variety behaviors recently.
