Perhaps the most terrible and far reaching of all of man’s vices is the gambling habit.

The foundation of gambling is the weakening desire to get something for nothing.

Unnatural man-made economic conditions that have existed for thousands of years have bred in man the belief that the world owes him a living whether he earns it or not.

The world owes nobody a living as nature has decreed that everybody must give effort for whatever they receive. In fact everybody owes nature a huge debt for bringing to life the human race and giving to it the most responsible work given to any other species of animalism. So to be honest everybody must work to pay that debt in full.

The human race has a long hard struggle before it to produce the gigantic results that nature expects it to accomplish in time to come.

In order that man can accomplish what nature requires of him he must be developed to a higher state of intelligence which can only be done by honest effort.

Therefore anyone who gambles with the hope of getting something for nothing is shirking his responsibilities to nature.

Strength comes from effort and man should strive to be so strong that he can give more to others than others give to him. Getting something from others for nothing makes men weak, not strong.

The gambling craze not only makes of man a drone but it makes of him an easy subject for those who make it their business to cheat the people out of their earnings.

By stuffing the minds of the people at large with the impression that they can get something for nothing enables the biggest swindlers to defraud everybody out of their wealth by false promises. By leading them to believe that life is a game of chance and that by risking what they have for something they have not that they can thereby secure an easier way to live than by hard work they find no trouble in fleecing them.

Nature does not give men talents to cheat others out of their earnings; it gives them talents to help those less fortunate than themselves. So when the fortunate ones take advantage of the weak and feeble ones they abuse natures confidence in them and sooner or later the law of reaction will turn against them and they will ultimately find themselves in the same situation as the weaklings they took advantage of.

The infernal desire to obtain something for nothing leads people to swindle one another and then on to other vices and crimes.

Thus one set of big swindlers and then another hold control of the producers’ wealth and force them to sign agreements to give up their future earnings to such an extent that humanity as a whole has been reduced to a state of slavery in which the descendants of those in power today become the servile wretches of tomorrow.

So to protect humanity from falling into a perpetual state of slavery and having to crawl to a few big idiots without knowledge of life’s real purpose, gambling in all of its hideous forms must be extirpated.
