When it comes to friendship, it would be interesting issue to discuss whether borrowing money from a friend can harm or not. Some people may insist that interacting money between friends does not damage the friendship. As far as I am concerned, however, I believe that borrowing money can harm the friendship for the following two reasons: not only can they feel uncomfortable but also ruining their trust. First of all, interacting money between friends would make it possible for people being felt uncomfortable. To put it again, if someone borrows money from one's friend, it will be very stressful. In most cases and generally, friendship should be involved comfortable each other in order to have good relationship each other. To take my experience as a good example I am still stressed out because of lending 50 dollars to my best friend, Tom, even when we met sometime, he avoided me several time. Had it not been for lending money to him, I could not have felt uncomfortable. In this sense, there is no doubt that interacting money between friends can harm the friendship in terms of being felt uncomfortable. In addition, if people borrow money from friends, this would be more harmful in maintaining their trust each other. Interacting money between friends could provide with more chance to destroy their faith which is a very important asset in order to sustain the friendship. According to a recent survey conducted by "British National Human Research Institute" compared with people who borrow frequently money from friends, those who do not have any experience of interacting money between friends are 25.6 percent higher scored at the responses of maintaining the friendship, other conditions being equal. In fact, it is not difficult to hear or see the similar cases around us. Like this it is needless to say that borrowing money from friends can ruin their trust.
All things considered, although it is not a black-or-white issue whether interacting money between friends can damage the friendship or not, I strongly side with the opinion that borrowing money can harm the friendship. That is because by interacting money between friends, they can be very stressed out because they have to think about it everytime and it will be difficult to keep their trust, if they break promises. For these reasons, these drawbacks seem to make more and more people try not to interacting money between friends. |
