All gambling games have specified beginnings, middles, and
endings, based on a sequence of events that determine the outcome
of the game. Once you decide you are going to participate, you can't
change your mind—you're in for the duration. That's not true of trading.
In trading, prices are in constant motion, nothing begins until
you decide it should, it lasts as long as you want, and it doesn't enduntil you want it to be over.

"Most of the structure in our minds was given to us as a result of
our social upbringing and based on choices made by other people. In
other words, it was instilled in our minds, but did not originate in our
minds. This is a very important distinction. In the process of instilling
structure, many of our natural impulses to move, express, and
learn about the nature of our existence through our own direct experience
were denied. Many of these denied impulses were never reconciled
and still exist inside of us as frustration, anger,
disappointment, guilt, or even hatred. The accumulation of these
negative feelings acts as a force inside our mental environment causing
us to resist anything that denies us the freedom to do and bewhatever we want, when we want."
