If something saved you on the die minute you will always want to stay around that thing, you must be thinking that it happened for a reason that the thing saved you when you needed to be saved the most.
This is the story of a friend who was never a gambler but on the brink of losing his mother he was forced by nature to risk money on gambling and he won, it's been a long time that this happened but till this day his story still amaze me.
The surprising part is I expected him to start gambling from then on because gambling saved her mother, this could be the way that everyone will think after such narrow victory, but he never gambles after that issue have passed, I did asked him why he chose to not keep gambling.
He answered with a nod and said he prayed for a miracle to happen and something inside him leads him to gamble that day, since the problem is solved he has no business to keep gambling.
I am even starting to look at him like someone who is more than what he seems like, if you know what I mean.
The story is powerful and i think the key part is his interpretation of the event. he did not see gambling as what saved his mother, he instead saw it as a one-time action taken under extreme pressure and guided by faith not really a system to rely on. Once the crisis passed, he understood he at repeating the act would turn desperation into habit and that's where people lose control.This is the story of a friend who was never a gambler but on the brink of losing his mother he was forced by nature to risk money on gambling and he won, it's been a long time that this happened but till this day his story still amaze me.

His discipline and clarity are something to marvel at. Many people would attach meaning to the method instead of the moment, but he separated the miracle from the risk. That level of self-awareness is rare and it is probably why the story feels deeper than it looks on the surface.
