Joel ~ tourism

i just remembered something the funny thing of life... when i was younger, my parents kept warning me that i have to study if not i would end up serving my friends at restaurants... they would come to have fun whilst i be the one to serve them... well logical eh... well i decided to follow their advice i mean why not right... study hard do well score As get into a good school... i mean how bad could that be... well the funny thing is that i did that all and i just realised that later on in life i would still be serving them... hahaha... hmm something is not right... maybe i should not have studied so hard earlier on.. hahhaa.... well but i love it so TOO BAD.... woooooot...

well but then something else hit me during a lecture today... the sands resort in macau brought in US$240mil in a matter of 9mnths of opening... the wynns resort brought in 900mil in 10yrs... isnt that crazy... basically after 9mnths you and your next generations can retire and live off bank interest...

but isnt that sick too? 240mil in 9mnths imagine how many families were affected in those 9mnths... imagine what kind of society patrols the streets... it was said that a man fell from the 4th storey of the sands resort and into the casino and died... and yet no one twitched an eye brow... and this is a real account... and again on the 4th storey of sands, a man committed suiccide because he lost US$20mil... isnt that madness isnt that madness...

this just only confirms my stand... ill make sure i will never ever work in a casino... how can you take delight in knowing that your salary comes from the money taken away from others during a game, a man with a family of 4, a mans lifely savings... it is not right... people talk about humanitarian efforts... question is how can you stand there and watch people burn away their lives, savings, family all for your own income and say you are humane, it is not your fault, you didnt force them... forget about all that... question is... if you see a man on the streets dying from hunger would you give him a loaf of bread? if you know a man is a drug addict would you give him money when he begs you? if you see your SON walk into the casino will you give him pocket money? then why why why is it that people can allow casinos why is it that people can announce out into the open without qualms then why is it that we stand for it then why is it that we want to work in it then why is it that we want to be a part of it then why why why is it we want to make others suffer? our morals and values stood strong and resilient not too long ago, being against the casino but why has it all changed? one reason and it comprises of 2 four letter words... self gain... i wont be a part of this...i came into this line to bring joy, happiness and wholsome fun to all not suffering, guilt and adversity...

friends always care
