In modern society, the line between what is permissible and what is not, between good and bad, is becoming increasingly blurred.
And capitalism covers and justifies all of this, as Merlin said. In reality, it is a powerful tool in the hands of capitalism, which allows it to erode and devalue traditional, time-tested ethical norms, undermine the institutions of the family, and so on, and to involve more and more people in the pursuit of profit, to embrace the market, and thus create a consumer society with extremely low critical thinking skills. Gambling is just one link in a long chain that is dragging society towards degradation.
Well, I got carried away...;)
I 100% agree.
But, as has been proven by more than one generation: prohibition is a direct path to violation. I am sure that those of us who have already become fathers (or mothers) understand that simply forbidding something is not enough; it's about remaining silent. You need to explain, show, provide examples, and... allow them to try. And if all the steps are correct, then at the "try" stage, the person will REFUSE on their own and accept it as a fact. And once and for all, because it is THEIR decision.
"Одержать сто побед в ста битвах — это не вершина воинского искусства. Повергнуть врага без сражения — вот вершина.
"Сущность войны — обман. Искусный должен изображать неумелость. При готовности атаковать демонстрируй подчинение. Когда ты близок — кажись далёким, но когда ты очень далеко — притворись, будто ты рядом."
