Agreed. Everyone possess willpower to varying extents. The majority have weak willpower leading to regular issues like gambling addiction etc in their day to day lives while the minority have great willpower who live their lives successfully.

The psychiatry and therapy industry earn huge amounts thanks to so many people possessing weak willpower.

Yes exactly cause we all know that once a gambler is becoming an addict then there's  still a possibility or a chance  that he can get out from the addictions world and the best thing to do is they need a friend's or a family member that can understand them and engage into new things out of the world of gambling then in the few months there's a possibility that a gambling addict become a free and start with a new life.

The parade is a welcome initiative being an educational parade that was made to education the public about the dangers of gambling especially excessive gambling, if only people will be ready to listen and digest it practically we won't be having increasing cases of gamblers who were ones rich now becoming from millionaire to homelessness. On the other hand too, this parade can also seem like a publicity to create awareness that tickles the mind of those that don't gamble at all to be tempted to try and see what it's like to gamble . So it's like a coin of two different sides, how the people receipt the educational parade all depends on their perspective about it.

Yep, a little willpower and a helping hand can go a long way for a gambling addict. Someone who acknowledges the fact that the addiction is a problem and they want to get rid of it can find a person who can help them get away from gambling slowly by engaging them with other activities and not allowing them to gamble at all, or maybe let them gamble but keep reducing the time every day so that they can get rid of the addiction after some time, like a month or so.

Such parades, seminars, or any other event that is held for educational purposes can only raise awareness among people who aren't into gambling yet just to give them a general idea of what it can cause them if they get addicted to it, these events cannot make an addicted gambler stop gambling.

The willpower you just mentioned is so powerful to the point that if everybody has it, then the therapy and psychiatry industry would be so poor. But unfortunately, the reserve is the case in our society, people often do not fight for it or train themselves to maintain the sanity that will help their willpower to grow. In gambling, I believe it's good for gamblers who are adults to be able to control themselves, good, it's not all of us who are mature, but this shouldn't be so obvious in our ability to restrain what is bad. The moment you start gambling, the first thing have to come into your mind is how you will not let this thing control you. If you could have this in mind with determination, I'm sure you will be able to resist even without external help. Another thing that gamblers should have at the back of their minds when they start betting is that gambling is not the place they can make their fortunes of life.

Eventually, if the fortune comes from it, they wouldn't put their mind in it to the point that it would affect them. If any gambler possesses these two points from day 1 and also preserves/practices them daily, I believe their willpower would be preserved since they do not give in entirely to gambling, so it wouldn't control them in that sense.

Rehabilitation works both ways, if other people don't offer to help these people even if they are willing to get help then their recovery and rehabilitation either won't speed up or won't be effective causing them to relapse. Of course it should be that recovery should be more on the person's willingness to recover but we should be helping these people even if we think that they don't deserve it or that they are going to go back to their addiction, everyone in the society should help each other in any way that we can, the people are the foundation of a society right?

I didn't understand what was going on at this parade. Also, the video is very short to be able to understand what is going on. Maybe it is a street advertisement of casino slots, but maybe I'm wrong. In my opinion, such a parade does not contribute to reducing gambling addiction, but on the contrary will attract people's attention to them.

On the other hand, this parade tries to show the public how dangerous gambling is, but for those who have never gambled, it actually provides an opportunity to find out more deeply and can have the opposite impact. The parade had good intentions but saw the dark side of exposing themselves to their own gambling in front of the public. Isn't it a little riskier? I know exactly what this parade is, but for some reason exposing it to the public will give rise to various speculations, both from the positive side and certainly not without the negative side. It could trigger people who are not familiar with gambling to stimulate their curiosity by starting to look for gambling.

I think that it can`t help. The parade will attract attention and popularize slots. Even if the organizer thinks differ. No one need such parade except someone, who get profit from it. Someone interest, someone decide that he hasn`t any problems with gambling. And as result we get new addicts.

Yeah. That is a con related to these kinds of shows. I think this is the first time seeing people trying to educate others about gambling addiction in this manner which is frankly weird if I am being honest.

Peer to peer discussions in a private environment are way more effective at dealing with this particular issue.

Many times,  why there have been a lot of setbacks in the recovery processes for addicts is because many of them are not willing to fight the addictions this could be as a result of third-party pressure to quit active gambling.

So for sure,  the individual himself must first of all have the willingness to quit before talking anyone into believing that he is taking constant steps towards defeating the hold of addictions.

True, I like how the video gives the message that only people that can really have comprehension will understand what the message of the video implies. It's really true that although gambling is subject to fun and entertainment, there's a high percentage that gamblers often become tooabsorbed in gambling, which will lead to their problem of addiction. Yes,  in gambling you could earn; there's a possibility there, but the thing is, there is no guarantee about it; only lucky people can have it. I'm not even sure how many times we said to the gamblers to stop being addicted or prevent building up addiction to gambling; they will never wake up until they reach the point where there is no turning back. The other one said, "Only the person with strong will" will overcome himself and control himself from bad things like gambling addiction. I hope many gamblers could watched the video so they can have a hint and idea what will happen if they don't stop.

If you are trying to look at on the video and seeing those kind of showcase from a best/good motorcycle until into the bad one, then there's only one message that it do brings out on which
gambling could possibly make you poor if you arent that careful enough on dealing with it or simply you dont have that kind of control of it. Just like on what others been saying that it is really that a good initiative if we do speak about trying out to make exposure on how gambling could really be able to affect your life if you are really that engaging into it.
It would really be an eye opener for them in speaking about addiction on which gambling could bring into someone who dont have that good control.

To me i see this as more of letting gamblers realized the possible ways they can use in gambling slot and how they can play to enjoy the fun in it by having the full understanding of the game itself, this education procedures may not actually target on addiction, though it can work awhile in such regards but we have to understand that addiction is something we have to personally deal with from our own side, it can work, am not contemplating on the impossibility but the probwbility of its effectiveness.

There's no way on that you could really be able to quit up gambling if you dont really be able to have that kind of will and control on which you are really that liking to quit.
Yes, the video shows that they are really that showing off on how gambling could really affect you when you do play soo much but its true that those things would really
be something that do really let you show up those kind of awareness but doesnt literally able to give out that kind of control.

Actually its not a bad gesture basing up on what they have done on which at least they are making that kind of awareness to people around
but in speaking about trying to help out about addiction isnt something that could be easily be that wiped out because of such parade.

Some factor that have contributed greatly to the lack of ability to defeat addictions is personal willingness from the addict himself and that must have to do with the ability to defeat the addiction in your mind and head first before every other things,  most times it's better to prevent addiction than to fight it because in fighting addiction you must be prepared to fight an almost impossible evil to defeat,  some times you may need to visit a doctor for some prescriptions.

Most of the time,  many people fail to understand these factors and choose to work much more as preventive than prescription or treatment of addictions.

I agree that the other thing you mentioned is true, like that not all people who are in the parade are aware of the gambling they are showing, and it is also true that it is also a kind of advertisement method done by those coordinators.

It looks like I also think that the people there know different sugars compared to the gambling they advertise, like slot games. It looks like the internet is also weak in that place, or possibly there is no internet in that place, if I'm not mistaken.

Athough the main purpose of the parade is to educate people about the negative effect of slot games or gambling in general but on the other side, such a parade can be seen as a free advertisement for the slot game.
Simply because it is in public places, not all people who watch the parade are gamblers and I'm sure there are so many underage people who watched it and might be curious to know about what is being presented by parade because they never seen it before.
My opinion, it is something with a good main purpose but with a bad way, because there are many other better ways to educate people about gambling.
Slot/gambling education should not be done in public places like this IMO.

      -  As for me, I can't see where in that parade it will help to reduce gambling addictions, but if I look back, it seems that it even encourages people to gamble using the apps that have the game gate of Olympus.

And the people who witnessed that parade did not have the same understanding of what they wanted to convey or the theme of why they did it in a place like a barangay or district. Therefore, for me, it will not help if people are aware of the need to avoid gambling, especially minors.

Lol! Good initiative by the people, but I feel that such parades do very little to help out of control gamblers fight their addictions. What truly matters the most is inner willpower in these cases.

The ones that posess strong willpower can overcome their gambling addiction while the ones with weak willpower will probably never overcome this issue.
