彩票的负面影响(SparetheLottery)
lottery, booming all of a sudden all over the world, attracts all kinds of people. nearly everybody, old or young, rich or poor, is right now trying his luck in lottery or is thinking of doing so. despite many disputes that lottery is receiving, i still assume, personally, that lottery does mere good than harm.
the worst effect caused by lottery, as many socialists indicate, is that it produces in people an idea of "gain without pain'.but at the same time, they neglect one point--it is human nature that people all expect to obtain most while offer least. the thought of "gain without pain" is buried in everyone's heart and is not bred by lottery.consequently, lottery is innocent in this way. but there still remain a large group of people against lottery, among whom are some lottery addicts. such people are fond of lottery but unfortunately luck is never fond of them. finally, they end up in complaining about lottery, declaring the great harm, both psychologically and economically lottery has done to them. in this case,the problem lies in the attitude of people, not lottery.since the major two sorts of harm are not lottery's fault,let's have an objective look on lottery. for the society, lottery is the most practical way to accumulate funds. for those who happen to win a large fortune, i think they can't kiss their lottery enough. also for those who have not a single chance to be lucky dogs, lottery can mutely tell them the truth of "no pains, no gains."
spare the lottery! it, in itself can do more good than harm.
