Does a good friend stand by silently when someone they care about do something dishonourable ? I know I wouldnt want to have in my life people like that who sat back and said nothing. that doesnt define a good mate to me..
I guess the point that strikes me about that statement is that, personally, I don't see a friend not paying me back because they can't, as dishonourable. I see them as being unable to pay me back, end of story. I would be totally fine with that...because.... as some people have said, myself included, paying back would not have been an expectation in the first place even if they said they intended to. Not when we're talking about a friend.
The term friends is bandied around. I have few. I know a lot of people but I have only a handful of people I would entrust my life, my kids future let alone money to. To them I woulndt hesitate to help if I could
Yep...well said, and that's pretty much the sentiment I was trying to get out there too. Maybe it all comes back to how loosely a person uses the term 'friend' as to whether that person strikes too many issues of this nature? Apparently some people think that unless you embrace every person who crosses your path as a friend, you must be a negative or unfriendly person. lol. I'd say discerning. You end up with quality people in your life. Works for me.
Naamah...can I scab a 50 off ya matey???
Anytime.
