Hate the game?

“Do not hate the player. Hate the game.”  [Neil Stauss]

  In the world has some 130 countries where gambling "pay taxes" is not in hiding, never quite understood why I should hate the game.
  Moneyed people of Brazil will play there in neighboring Uruguay and I see that country as the temple of doom or see our financial elite ruined the game, it's just fun.
  My life is so ruled that today could be likened to the life of a saint, I can not remember the last time I got on playing cards, never been to a Bingo.
  I remember that my family liked to play "Tombola," another name for those bingo cards, remember also that was only funny if it were played for money even if it was pennies.
  I was about 8 years and my parents gave me a few cents more at year-end holiday gambling would go to the wee hours, how many children and adolescents? I know there were many cousins, 10,15 or 20 depending on the occasion.
  Today we are all adults and I am not aware of anyone addled rounds Tombola, if any relatives are reading this text should be with tears in my eyes remembering those times as happy as a family.
  Many things can lead to death or to endanger our lives, if we "hate" all possibilities should prohibit almost everything.
  I saw a story about children drowning in a pool, what should we do, hate the pools or prohibit construction in private homes?
  When I did not play Tombola, played soccer, volleyball, naval battle ...
  The game is a fun way of helping our disconnection with reality so necessary for so many spirits, some will be swallowed by addiction not wanting to go back more to reality.
  Many cry for help and we can help them die ... others drowned, this is reality.
