Today, a close friend asked to borrow money from me. I didn’t have enough to lend him, but we are very good friends, and I didn’t want to refuse him. I was afraid that if I told him the truth, he would feel that I was rejecting him. I didn’t know how to explain it, and it was very difficult to decide what to do.
We studied together for many years and remained close even after we moved to different places and didn’t see each other for a long time. He wanted to buy a new home, but his old home had not sold yet, so he had no money available. He said he could return the money after the sale. I understood why he needed it. I still didn’t have enough money, and I was left between caring about my friend and being honest about what I could do.
