Here's the scenario: Julie, a hardworking secretary, lent money to his good friend, Ray $ 1300 to be exact. Ray had just moved to a new city and said he needed two new suits: one for an upcoming wedding and to wear on job interviews. Ray lives in a beautiful penthouse. He had a degree in Computer Science and was accustomed to finer things in life - designer brands, frequent travel, and spa weekends. When Ray told Julie that he would pay and signed a document promising to do what Julie did not think anything it. few weeks later, Ray tried to hit up Julie for more money this time to give his new home. When she told him she would not be able to help him out this time, he accused her of being cold and hung up the phone on her. Julie suddenly realized that she was exploited. His pain quickly turned to anger. She wanted to know how someone could be so selfish and thoughtless.
We women have a natural desire to nurture, when possible. Many of us have learned the hard way, we always keep our guard up - there when we can be misled or exploited. It is commonly believed that a woman who is eager to lend money to a man with niavity, despair or low self-esteem. But in this case, a loan was not a gift, and friendship is not a romantic relationship.
We all know what a risk to lend money to a friend of the opposite sex. Some of us decided to lendee the benefit of the doubt by what we know and trust them. Some of us are aware enough to take the necessary precautions so that the loan is legally binding. The key is that we need to stop stereotyping writing and pointing to a woman who gives the man the money. We need to look more closely at the nature of those who would benefit from genourostity a friend.
With respect for him, Julie has also lost all compassion for Ray and their so-called friendship deteriorated.? The fact is that no one can respect a man who fails to respect others. When he performs acts that are selfish and manipulative, sincerity, honor, integrity, are being questioned.
They say:
This is not what we eat, but what we digest that makes us strong;
not what we get, but we save that makes us rich;
Do not read, but what we remember that makes us learned;
and what does not recognize, but in practice that gives us integrity.
If Julie was weak enough to quote Ray to another several hundred dollars for furniture, how could he sleep at night knowing that he had his own expense to take care of?
