you will lose everything you have.
Every time I ask this question, the answer I most often get is “win.” But you don’t win playing the slots unless your idea of winning is simply entertainment or losing all your money. Casinos have nicer buildings and furnishings than anyone who gambles in them. They are set up so that the house wins in the end.
There are some pursuits that aren’t worth pursuing.
Sometimes it is better to quit while you’re ahead.
Persistence does not always pay off.
What we have to decide is, is what I am pursuing worth what it is costing me?
This can exist even within noble pursuits. Sometimes you have to know when to walk away. Sometimes you have to know when to run.
Then there are the boneheads who keep destroying their lives by pursuing shortcuts, dishonesty and unethical behavior.
Thinking that rebelling against God and living wickedly is the way to a great life. This is wrought with foolishness.
You play that game long enough and you will lose everything you have.
