Life is like a Gambling that full of Probabilities

Life is like a Gambling that full of probabilites. But which one exists first, gambling or probability? Probability is associated with gambling. There were gamblers who consulted mathematicians on how likely they will win in a game of chance. So, gambling was existed first before the concept of probability. And later, it was developed by the mathematicians.

I think probability is not new to us. We have learned this inside the classroom. Probability is defined as a branch of Mathematics that deals with uncertainties. Thus, life is full of probabilites or uncertainties.

Possibilities, chances, likelihood and uncertainties are the synonymous words of probability. But what is the use of probability in life? Probability can be used in the field of sciences, sports, politics, economics and statistics.

Even the weather situation can prove to us that life is full of uncertainties. Today the weather is good because the glorious sun is shining but after few minutes, it will rain. Meaning, we can't say that there is 90% of chance that it will rain because the sun is shining because climate change is real.

Even when we are young, it is uncertain that we could fully help our parents when we have a good job. When we were kids, it is our desire to help them when we finished studying and get high paying job. We studied hard because for the family. We want to achieve our goals so that we can support our parents when they get old. But life is really full of uncertainties. We study, we graduate, and we find good job but probably we will be married. Do you think our desire when we were young to help our parents will be realized if we have already our own family? We want to help them but we have also necessities to purchase like children's needs. We have monthly bills to pay. Our income is not even enough to sustain our needs especially when emergency comes and we have also loans to pay. Therefore, the possibility of helping our parents will be low as having no chance to support their needs.

Before when I was a single, I could give what my nieces and nephews want me to buy. I brought them to neighboring town to do shopping. It was my way that I could return back what my sister did to me. But when I get married, everything has changed. Only during Christmas season, I handed my two sisters and my mother with a cash gift. When they celebrate their birthdays, I bought something like cake or ice cream as my birthday gifts to them. In that way, they could feel how grateful or thankful I was because of what they have done to me.

In some cases, some eldest brothers or sisters don't want to get married early because they became the bread winner in the family. Their attention is to help their parents and their brothers and sisters as well. But again, life is full of uncertainties. Elders want also to support them in their studies so that they will become successful like them. The problem is they ruined their lives and their future by having relationship with someone and ended to early pregnancy. This is very true in our school. The number of early pregnancy has increased.

We owed a lot to the people who contributed much for our success. They were part of that success. And we should learn also to turn back to them.

Life is like a Gambling that full of uncertainties. Sometimes, life can be compared with casino. It has more negativities than positivities. But these challenges would somehow help us to become better person.

We are asking a rose but we receive more thorns. We want to have healthy environment but sometimes we are sorounded with toxic people. We want to have healthy relationships but sometimes we are shaken with jealous and lust. We want to have happy life but sometimes we are destructed with pains, troubles and conflict. We want to be financially freedom or stable but sometimes we are tested with lot of shortcomings. We want to become instant millionaires but sometimes we could feel something is lacking. Life is indeed full of uncertainties. We are not sure the things we want to happen will be happened.
