So, how many people hate mahjong players?

Starting from a short period of time before the Chinese New Year last year, several colleagues in our project became obsessed with mahjong. I don't take the initiative to invite people, and sometimes I refuse when called. I am the person who goes the least often. My attitude towards mahjong is neither a liking nor a dislike, it depends on the situation: when a few familiar friends are in a room with nothing to do, I am happy to accompany them; if they have to stay up all night, I don't like it very much. But why do I sometimes follow you into muddy waters? Among the four people at the table, it is usually the loser who breaks up, so that the others can leave. You can't just say "leave" if you win. Others will think: "Hey, I want to run away after winning money."

If you say that a person is in a poker game and cannot help himself, it is suspected of being an excuse. If you hit him, you will hit him. What other excuse can you find? Therefore, the best thing to do is not to go to the card table at all, and there will be no more right and wrong.

Speaking of playing cards and causing trouble, the one that impressed me most was the quarrel between my mother and my father after playing cards when I was young. My mother didn't completely forbid my father from playing cards, but she just emphasized that it should be done in moderation, not to come back in the middle of the night, and not to miss work because of playing cards. Because my father didn't abide by the rules, the two of them had countless quarrels. I couldn't get involved in such things, and since I was still young, I just watched and listened for several years. The only good thing about this incident is that it taught me that gambling is indeed bad and seriously affects family harmony. Now I basically only go to the card table during the Chinese New Year. On weekdays, only those who have a good relationship can invite me. Even so, if my future girlfriend or wife hates playing cards very much, I will stop playing. Anyway, if I don’t love it very much, why bother having conflicts.

My mother only had a quarrel with my father, which was considered a daily conflict. The situation was not serious. There were many cases in our village where "things got serious". Whose husband came back in the middle of the night, stood at the door tremblingly, and kept knocking, but there was no sound inside. Could it be that my wife is asleep? He is really asleep and cannot be woken up, because you can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep. If the husband has a weaker temper, he will apologize profusely at the door and open the door after being scolded by the person at the door; or he may simply stay with a neighbor or relative for the night, and then think of a solution at dawn. If two people are impatient, they will have to argue for three hundred rounds. If the argument is not satisfactory, they will take action. Just for the sake of a short while of fun, letting others see the joke and destroying family harmony is really not worthwhile.

During the Spring Festival this year, I went to my cousin’s new house for the first time. The house had just been renovated two or three months ago. It was very nice. While my sister was cooking in the kitchen, my brother-in-law and I were chatting about house decoration in the living room. I saw that their house still had a corner of two to three square meters, so I thought this place could be used as a place for leisure and entertainment (I mean places such as reading corners). My brother-in-law thought I was talking about a mahjong table, so he said that his friend was going to give him a mahjong table, but my sister refused to agree, so we had to forget it. It’s not easy to discuss this topic any further, so I’m moving on to other things. But on this one, I support my cousin. If your home is not a large villa and it can meet the requirements of daily life, it is best not to place a mahjong table at home. Wherever the table is placed, who can guarantee that the people who come every time will be close friends, and it will not be good if all kinds of people come to disturb your life. Even if we are good friends, it would be nice if we all go out to have a little chat and then go home each other when we are done. Always going to someone's house to play mahjong is not a long-term solution.

I also have a teacher who I respect very much. He is good at everything except playing cards. Because of my respect for him, I did not deliberately understand his life. A teacher is a teacher. But later I heard that in those years, he often stayed up late playing cards, lost more than he won, and his life was not very satisfactory.

People who hate playing mahjong have their own reasons. Those who are trapped in it cannot extricate themselves. Just like, even though everyone knows that smoking is harmful to health, so many people still do it without hesitation. Parents teach their children to do the right thing and not to do bad things. When adults do bad things that they once prohibited children from doing, they say: Hum, only children can tell right from wrong, adults only want to be happy.
