Sometimes I wonder why we gamble. Not the kind where cash is replaced by chips and we go all in hoping against all rational thought that we’ve beaten the odds. But more of the kind where we risk losing immaterial things just for trying to make our lives a little bit better.
That’s probably why we play these games on people. To measure them up and see with our own two eyes the person they really are. However the results of our little tests have the potential to truely screw up whatever belief we have left in mankind. Which is why most people delude themselves into thinking everything is alright the way it is. Fear of facing reality and/or blindness. Two medically certified handicaps.
Trust is either severely misplaced or deficient in our lives. We need people to prove their worth instead of just talking cock.
I’ve always thought to myself, if someone can live up to my expectations, then it was worth fighting for, but if not.. well.. It’s a sort a gamble. When you go all in you either win everything or leave empty handed.
I guess people only gamble because of desperation or they have nothing to lose in the first place.
