Of a truth, the people he referred to are 5X worse than him and it was obvious they started from his level and degraded to a worse condition. I tried pointing out to him that measuring excessive gambling is a self evaluation with respect to your finances and not using others as a yardstick of measurement but he dismissed my with the words "As long as I'm not yet gambling like these guys, I'm fine".
There is no point for him to use others as a yardstick to measure his gambling addiction level. This are the exact words used by many people who later became gambling addict. The truth is that this is how it usually start, people see it as nothing or they keep on comparing themselves with others until they find themselves in the level of the person they once referenced.Do you think it's right to reference to others as a yardstick to evaluate your level of responsible gambling?
It is not good because referencing them will only blindfold you not to see that you are following thesame. Route. Such person will gradually make thesame mistake again. Wise people take correction from other people mistake and not allowing such thing to happen to them.
