On any given days, it is evitable to see the people who have a financial problem when they borrow money from their friends. As for me, I believe that financial loan between friends can be harmful for the friendship. The reasons why are, people are apt to have an uncomfortable feeling going on between their friends and it can even destroy the friendship.
To begin with, while they can talk about lots of things each other as friends, it is hard to talk about the financial loans between friends. In a meanwhile, people tend to remember the loan they borrowed or lent whenever they meet with their friend who interacted with, so people are apt to have an uncomfortable feeling with the friend without discussing the point. For example, one time I lent some money to my friend who needs financial help. After the due day, she didn't give money back, but since I knew she was not in a good situation, I was not daring to ask her to give my money back. So when I meet her, I was apt to think about the money and wondering if she forgot it about the loan. My feeling was not comfortable and I didn't know what to do. Later, I didn't even want to meet her anymore and our friendship was becoming farther.
Moreover, people don't take the loan from friend seriously. It is because people tend to think loaning some money from friends is not a big deal, compare with their friendship. So they don't meet the due day or give a portion of money back. However it causes serious problem between friends. There is an example in a real life. I saw the news that mentions the big argument between friends. According to the conversation between them, while the one who lent the money said it is ridiculous that the friend didn't give money back in a right time, the other who borrowed the money said it is not appropriate that his or her friend couldn't even consider the friend situation but kept asking to get the money back. Because of these reasons, the friendship was over
In this sense, getting a loan from friends is not definitely a good idea to do it. Because people tend to be sensitive whenever they face the friend who interacted financially. And since some people don't take it seriously, it causes a big trouble between friends. In conclusion, people need to be careful of lending or borrowing the money from a friend and try not to affect the friendship negatively.
