To understand why gambling is frowned upon by many people, one must first understand and appreciate the concept of making an honest living. Being financially compensated for providing a beneficial service or product to the world is a very fulfilling way to be productive, and to the honest person it makes sense. As a practice of good virtue, each person should contribute their own good to the world. Doing so makes the world a better place for present and future generations, and for each person who does that, the feeling of accomplishment at the end of the day are immense. Receiving the financial compensation to live a life of comfort and good health seems a very just and deserving agreement.

Ideally, to the honest earner, every dollar should be put to wise use, either in providing for a secure, healthy and enjoyable family or personal life, putting away to savings, investing in ventures that will have a positive impact on the world, or donating to help people in need. With those good practices in mind, the notion of risking money to either gain more without having done any good to have honestly earned it, or to have an even greater chance to simply lose all of that hard-earned money completely based on chance is very poor reasoning.

Gambling is very poor financial practice, and future generations ought to be taught instead the importance of honest earning and wise spending. Doing so will ensure their financial security for the rest of their lives.
