Gambler's Ruin (Kung Bakit Bawal Umayaw ang Taong Nananalo sa Tong-its)


Lost. Again.

There is an abusive persistence which seems to give everybody the strength to get up and be back again on their feet after they have been blackened and blued.

The field looks inviting even if one still feels the bruises and lashes from the last beating. Every one of us is a gambler and each hangs on to his hope that he'll finally be on the winning side of the game.

But its a known fact that every gambler will lose at the end. The same principle that makes Vegas Vegas. And this is also why bawal umayaw ang taong nananalo sa tong-its.

Is it the same with our game?

Is it absurd to stand up and be there again to play?

Tiring hopelessness and yet...
