Why: he is the gambling of the fraudulent, the splendor of the splendid, he is victory, effort, and the goodness of the good, again including something ethically ambiguous, deceit in gambling, within the same unified list as clearly virtuous qualities.
In life: the presence of even ethically ambiguous human behavior within this list of manifestations suggests a scope broad enough to include the full range of human activity, not only its cleanest, most admirable slice.
Teaching: extend the same broad, inclusive scope to your own understanding of a full human life, one that inevitably includes some ethically ambiguous chapters, rather than only counting the cleanest, most admirable parts as genuinely part of your story.
