Typical case

The protagonist doesn’t have any bad habits, maybe it’s a family change, or his own views on life. After all, he talks about modern literature and sees things more thoroughly. He is addicted to gambling. The pronunciation of gambling is the same as drug, which proves that it is difficult to quit. of. So the protagonist has been sinking, not to win money, just gamble, enjoy the pleasure, and finally get into debts. His mother tries to help him, but what the protagonist needs is constant numbness, perhaps just to use the harm of others to make him sober. Female students should turn a blind eye to admiration. The only thing is to bet. In the end, they are unavoidable, beaten, threatened, and finally succeeded in self-saving, running wildly to vent their past, and finally the end. Sometimes addicts really hate themselves, but in the end they all face themselves, and they can’t understand them, but they all have to say goodbye to the past. Everyone will experience similar stories. In the end, no matter how ineffective we are, we still have to return to reality. Although reality is very plain, this is life. Although we know that we are hard to break through, it is hard to get rid of, and reality will not be very good. But at least we are not sinking into the illusion, reality is the only way out.

Jim Bennett: You're born as a man with the nerves of a soldier, the apprehension of an angel

Jim Bennett: I've been up two and a half million dollars.
Frank: What you got on you?
Jim Bennett: Nothing.
Frank: What you put away?
Jim Bennett: Nothing.
Frank: You get up two and a half million dollars, any asshole in the world knows what to do: you get a house with a 25 year roof, an indestructible Jap-economy shitbox, you put the rest into the system at three to five percent to pay your taxes and that's your base, get me? That's your fortress of fucking solitude. That puts you, for the rest of your life, at a level of fuck you. Somebody wants you to do something, fuck you. Boss pisses you off, fuck you! Own your house. Have a couple bucks in the bank. Don't drink. That's all I have to say to anybody on any social level. Did your grandfather take risks?
Jim Bennett: Yes.
Frank: I guarantee he did it from a position of fuck you. A wise man's life is based around fuck you. The United States of America is based on fuck you. You're a king? You have an army? Greatest navy in the history of the world? Fuck you! Blow me. We'll fuck it up ourselves.
