When in reality there are far more questions one asks before determining how one feel about working ‘for profit’. How much profit? What are you doing with that profit? Do you earn the profit by exploiting others or by offering a valuable or even uplifting service? And more. <br /><br />the owner of a casino ran his business to give joy and excitement to our lives --- Mr. Kim<br /><br />I know I felt joyous at the casino when I watched that drunk guy piss on the carpet. He was relieving his bladder’s suffering. And it was real exciting when that guy screamed at me because apparently he was playing that slot machine that I approached; that one and the other four slot machines in that row. Wasn’t exciting when that old lady screamed at my friend after his slot machine paid off. Said she went to the bathroom and had left her bucket to mark her machine. Said he stole her winnings. It was joyous as this old woman cussed him out on his birthday.<br /><br />We can sit there and conjecture on the nature of good and evil all day. It will get us nowhere. <br /><br />Fuck those casinos. I think they are evil. . . or to sound more Buddhist official. . . Casinos compromise the Precepts. However you want to talk about it is fine with me. Just know that I think they suck.Kate Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826311771326897525noreply@blogger.com
