Friendship vs money

Arif is right to say but true only about such persons who borrow money only to buy their luxery beyond their earnings. I also had one such deceit who have betrayed me for about 1.5 lakh.

I had a friend who had helped me a lot and I always wanted to repay whatever he had done for me. Once he asked me one lakh Rs and promised to return me in 3 months. I thought this is the good way I can thank him for all good things he did to me. He promised to return money in 3 months and even after 3 years he did not opened a topic about that money. After 3 years I needed money so I asked back from him and continuosly put pressure on him. In 5-6 instalments he returned my money. But relationship is not there now though openly we did not say anything to each other.

Stay away from such kind of people and don't also accept any kind of favors from him in the future. They will be like that only and will have a bad reputation in the society whereever they go in general. And these kind of people don't really care about their bad reputation.

Friendship is not just money nor is friendship meant for money. As money cannot buy many things, friendship is one of them. If somebody spoils friendship for money, that is no real friendship either. I keep giving and taking money to friends and I don't even remember how much I gave while my friends promptly return; so does it happen that my friends don't remember what they lent to me and I remember it and return promptly. Till it is returned neither of us speak of it anywhere.

And there will be people who you lent money thinking they are your friends but who will never return that money on their own. These people don't have any gratitude for your help and are not worthy to keep them as friends.

A true friend is one who will either return the money promptly or at least remind you genuinely once in a while that he will return then money when he earns it.
