An ongoing debate exists over whether loaning money to friends can damage the friendships or not. Regarding this controversial issue, I strongly support the saying "lend your money and lose your friends."The reasoning behing my thinking is that the pursuit of money can make people disregard friendships.What's more, loans from friends are not seriously considered.
To start with, money can make people so selfish and greedy to the point where that even friendships seem meaningless to them.This largely results from the fact that people believe that "money talks." A main reason friends should not borrow money from each other is that when hard-earned money is not paid back on time, lenders become furious and hold grudges against borrowers, regardless of their friendships.To show this point, a The countless number of court cases that deal with hostile friends fighting over unpaid money demonstrates this point well.Lenders often file lawsuits against their friends who borrowed from them.In return, borrowers feel extremely betrated and hurt by their cold-hearted friends who seem to value money more than their friendships.In this respect, money transactions among friends can unquestionably damage friendships.
Another reason is that loans from friends are not taken seriously.This is because relationships based on familiarity and fondness often cause borrowers to take the loans for granted and to care little about punctuality in repayment. At the same time, friendships make it difficult for lenders to become formal and businesslike when asking for repayment.In my own experience, when I was a freshman in college,my friend asked me to lend hime two hundred dollars.Without any hesitation, I lent him the cash without any written agreement or payment plan because I did not want to cloud the friendly relationship.Unfortunately, my friend neglected to repay my loan for almost a year.Therefore, whenever I saw my friend, I started to feel bitter and doubted his trustworthiness.=이내용을 쓰면 friendship과 더 관련지어 설명이 되는 듯해요. 돈을 갚으라고 말하기가 힘들었다. 나중에 친구는 아예 그 일을 잊은 듯 했다. 등으로 돈을 빌려준 내용이 심각히 받아들여지지 않은 내용에 맞게 마무리하면 더 좋을 것 같아요^^그리고 이문장 추가 ▶ As illustrated in my experience, lenders hardly get paid back when they loan money to friends.
To conclude, I strongly believe that financial transactions between friends can damage relationships.The reason is that money can make people become blind with greed.Moreover, friends often delay in paying back the money.Consequently, I believe that the best way to solve this problem is by following the saying,"he that lends,gives." |
