When you lose gambling, you suffer other ways

Trust the process JJ!
Actually Slickster, we need to suffer that is a fact of life. Suffering is a part of healing the body. We need to suffer to make strides in life. Without suffering you have no actual existence in life.

Suffering is a product of the fall, a consequence of human sin against God (Romans 5:12; 1 Corinthians 15:21). Suffering is in our lives because we are living in a broken world. Some suffering is due to our sinful and wrong choices, but some is due simply to the world being fallen

Furthermore, Peter declares that it is a gracious thing to suffer for doing good (1 Peter 2:20). Finally, Peter exhorts us to follow Christ's example for doing good while suffering when he says, “Christ also suffered for us, leaving an example, so that we might follow His footsteps” (1 Peter 2:21-25).

Losing turns me off so if I’m losing I’m not gambling. Took me 40 years to reach this mindset.

JJ’s Peter has suffered for decades.
