Singapore Problem Gambling

I have received quite a fair amount of such spam sms, especially during big tournament. 

I wonder how they have gotten my number? 

Just delete and block anyway.

Just got into office, the security guard gave me a salute but I politely inform him I am now a civilian. I do feel good.

 

Back to your post, can feel your frustration.

Unfortunately, the minute you were born, life had always been a gamble. It depends on not just probability but also if your choice is calculated which makes your bet with a greater chance for the outcome you desired.

All decision in life comes with consequences, sometimes it end wells other times it ends dead in the path.

 

For some loosing everything may seem like end of the world but for a few it may be a start of a new beautiful life with appreciation of priorities on life, friends and family.

 

We all desire differently, some see suffering as bad others feel it is part of living and needed to be embraced.

 

We can't stop all the ills in this world but we can at least be less judgemental because we are not them and they are not us.

 

Have you wondered who are the individuals with the largest proportion to be gambling addicts, most can be found among grassroots in heartlands?

Then you look around where are most of the gambling centres, NTUC, Cheers and etc.

 

It is not just individual responsibility but our society and state also have a part to play.

yeah, i sometimes see Youtube ads that are promoting gaming sites or investments using the names of well-known celebrities.
