Journal Writing 1- Sherilyn Pua

Should I lend to a friend? Well, why not? If that could help them to overcome their difficulties now. But, sometimes, we might lose both frienship and money, if we do not consider it properly, thinking that since he/she is my best friends, well, lending money to them isn't a big problem to them, well, we might tends to make a big mistake at there. If they were to use the money we lend to them for things that could harm them. If the amount is too big for us to help them, then, I don't think it's bad for us to say "No" provided we include the reason why we can't afford to help them.

If we were to lend money to them, make sure that, it's a friend that could be trusted. So that, we do not need to worry everyday that would he/she return the money to us. If they are a friend that treasure friendship, I don't think they will won't return the money. If we could afford to help them, we should, because, who knows? We might need their help in different situation that we faced. Sometimes, people tends to threatened to end friendship with you if we don't lend them the money, and if that really happens, I would say "yes", to end the friendship, but not "yes" to lend the money. I mean, why should we even bother, when they treat money more important than friendship? Ending the friendship might be better off.

Life is like that isn' it? Humans are to help one and other, especially in these society, where most people are self-centered now. People tends to have difficulties in asking for help, especially where it comes to money. But, to me, If have the ability to help my friends, I will. If not, might be, I would offered help in some other ways. No matter what, I believe everyone has the ability to help, not in money, but many other ways too.. unless, you are a people who only thinks of yourself, if not, I don't think why couldn't we help if we could.

Helping others isn't an offence, not helping them with a reason isn't an offence too, but, if we help them in the wrong way, then well, it is an offence. So, before we help a person, we've got to make sure that the whether the friend is trustworthy or not and we've got to understand the situation they are in. Then, we could help them
