Lending money to friends is controvisial, regardless of the era, where we live. Some people argue that friendship is more important in people's life than money so it is evident to help each other under any circumstance even financial aid. On the other hand, financial loands between friends can harm or damage the friendsship. I support the latter opinion because money is crucial. While people lend money, they are likely to lose both money and friends.
To begin with, lending money occurs to the damage of money. In our society, money plays in pivotal role for survial. Beside nobody can predict the future and anying can happen. Even though the person who borrow the money is so responsible and trustful. If that person's financial situation gets worse than before, he is not able to pay the money back. For example, my uncle has a stable job and makes good salary. Besides with good personality, he has a lot of friend who likes and trust him. Once he helped and signed his friend to get financial loan from a bank. The problem is that at the beginning his friend seemed to get over his problem in a short time but his business went to bankrupt. Therefore my uncle could get the money back from him, he is still waiting for his money back.
Moreover, money can break up the trust. it is said that the feeling when people are eager to possess is diffrent from the feeling when you already possess. There is a good example my friend went thorugh. Her friend used to be very reliable and nice. Unfortunatly her friend faced serious problems financially, my friend who is wiling to help people in need had to borrow some amount of money as much as she can. Sadly, my friend lost her contact, she couldn't find the reason why her friend left. If my friend didn't lend money to her friend, she would have kept a good relationship with her.
As mentioned above, money 's role is inevitable for living. Lending money led to lose money as well as people we like. In this regard, I strongly agree with that view point. If people you want to strengthen the relationship need financial loan, It is better to just give away as you can afford. It can be the best alternative. |
