The biggest risk in life is not taking one.

[/ QUOTE ]]


I remember meeting some guy at a party who told me he'd never gambled because he preferred taking risks in life.

I take no risks in life. I never try anything. The only "risk" I take is of being broke, but then I can always go back to my parents and eat my mother's cooking, sleep in my old room, and retreat further from life.

Gambling for me, then, is a way of avoiding risks; it gives me a controlled drama and safe thrills - after all, it's only money. Just some times I take it too far, and, beyond anaesthetising myself to the life that's passing me by, I cause myself serious problems by not being able to meet my financial obligations.
