173. It is sometimes said that borrowing money from a friend can harm or damage the friendship. Do you agree? Why or why not? Use reasons and specific examples to explain your answer.
Most of my friends borrow and lend some money each other because they are comfortable each other. However, sometimes money trigger some problems. Even though they believe each other, their friendship collapse easily when money is related. The reason is because, borrowing and lending money trigger embarrassment and awkwardness between two
In my perspective, I believe that borrowing money may deteriorate the friendship because when money is related, it can be a burden to each person. I was an accountant once in my school. One day, everyone had to pay for student fee so as usual I was busy of counting money. Some of my friend asked me to lend her some money for the fee. It was not a lot of money but I had to put some money by savings. However, she asked me again and again so I had to lend her some money. Another friend asked me money again but I refused, and the day after he came to me and got angry on me because I did not lend him a student fee even I lend another friend. I explained to him but he does not listen. I was so embarrassed and even frightened. Thus, money is a hugh burden in friendship.
Moreover, there is another problem when friend has to payback. Sometimes, it is hard to ask for a due date for repayment. I had two classmates whom they were so close. They believe each other a lot so that they do not need a word 'sorry'. It was a usual day. One of the two had to pay for her club activity so she asked him to lend her some money. Of course, he lend her some money without reserve. It was not a little money but it can be covered with their friendship. He told her to pay him back when she make enough money. However, she did not have a chance to make enough money to pay him back and a month passed. As time goes by he had a prejudice of her that she stole his money. Their relationship became awkward and now they do not even have a talk each other. Which means that their long and deep relationship break down just by some money. Therefore borrowing money from a friend can harm the friend ship.
All in all, borrowing money from friend can damage the friendship. Even though, friend is as close as family, the relationship should not have to be related even a little money. Once we start borrow money from friend it will become the beginning of the shaky relationship.
