why would anyone want to get into gambling anyway? The Mesillas Yesharim writes: “Seeing as man has the intellect to recognize and run away from danger, how is it that he could even [want to do so]. . . one who does so is worse than an animal, as even animals have the sense to run away from a percieved danger. . . One who blunders through life unaware is like a blind person who is on the edge of a frothing river, who is next to an extreme danger. . . ” Translation: Anyone who willingly gets into gambling is a “worse than an animal”.
