I was watching a gambling video, on YouTube. It's a compilation of these two guys---I don't know who they are, though I've seen one of them before---just losing, and losing, and losing everything in online gambling. It's crazy the amount of money they're throwing in the fire.
Thousands, millions of dollars, gone like that. Unbelievable, in that I would literally not believe it had it not been video-recorded. Insanity.
I wonder what it's like to just have such a strong compulsion to do something so destructive. I understand what it's like, a little bit, on account of my eating. It's really hard for me to stop eating, or to not eat, even if I know I don't need to. I assume it's similar.
I guess the difference between eating yourself to death and gambling your life away isn't all that much.
