First, it is my life and not the life of another person, so I can live it as I like. But before I came to that determination, I was wise enough to first ask myself if the life I live is good and worth emulating at all. Ever since then, I have been trying to be a better version of myself so that I can even be more encouraged to proudly look away from whatever anyone can say of me if it is not nice in their view. This helps me to live a good life that is particularly responsible in many facets you can think of, which includes gambling.
But most people cannot say the same of their lifestyle and for anyone to see a gambler irresponsible might be worth it due to how many of them behave in society. Some will ruin their savings by gambling and behave so irresponsibly that they will hardly be able to have a good budget and financial plans. So, I don't blame those who are sceptical of them and the act of gambling.
Regardless of this, one thing that is sure is that there is still responsible gambling which goes beyond mere explaining to people, but let your lifestyle explain to them.
if you do think you are not troubling anyone with your actions, then by all means, live your life to the fullest. we have only one life to enjoy and try to exhaust it in all possible ways we want it. there will always be someone who will judge us for what we are not. so be it. they have no command or whatever to our life. we all just need is respect to each individuality.
we have nothing to explain to anyone if we are not violating any person surrounding us. as long as your conscience is clear, you have nothing to hide nor be obligated to explain yourself to anyone.
Ordinarily, I don’t dwell much on what people say or think about me cause people would always have opinions and something to say about everyone else. And as talk is always cheap and free, people would always talk and a lot amongst the lot actually haven’t got anything useful/new to say.
I don’t dwell much on what people say but I do try to listen a bit if I possibly can as I don’t let society and peoples opinions dictate how I live my life.
The person telling you off about gambling shouldn’t stick his nose into someone else’s business. You’re not exactly breaking the law with your activity.
they can talk all they want, but if you truly know yourself, you have nothing to hide. just live your life as it should be. you should not worry other people's tittle-tattle. that is, if you are rock solid to yourself and that you are very confident with yourself.
