If a friend runs out of money for other purposes I will give it to him but when he borrows for gambling I will not do it even if he begs.
It is certain that when borrowing money for gambling it will lose you will be complicated to collect back, even this becomes a fight of friends because of the problem of money that you used to lend, I always have the principle that money is very sensitive to negativity and gambling should not be with borrowed money.
Feeling uncomfortable, feeling bad with friends, feeling antagonized is a certainty in friendships where they can act even more aggressively than you.
This action definitely has to be done because even though we as human beings basically have to help each other, we have to be able to see what we are going to help. Apart from that, we also have the right to refuse other people's requests for help if the thing they are asking for is not possible. good, but it will only make their life situation worse. Never mind other people who borrow money to gamble, I will not lend it even if the person borrowing it is my own sibling, because I think that apart from being detrimental to him, it will also be detrimental to me who doesn't gamble because gambling is not guaranteed to give him a win. who can cover all the losses that have occurred and with him who is not certain that he will be able to pay or repay the loan that he has made, and that will clearly make me lose, unless it is indeed borrowing money for something that is positive then I will not refuse it, but for gambling I would refuse without a second thought.
Indeed, I think everyone is sensitive to money, because even a family that was previously fine can be destroyed because of financial problems, even if it's not because of gambling. Apart from that, of course I think everyone has a sense of wanting to have more or greed and that can be in the form of anything, especially in the form of money, because money is one of the things that is quite important in life so everyone can be greedy because they want to have a lot of money. with those who are addicted to gambling and dare to borrow money to gamble, I think they are greedy, but they are doing the wrong thing, because what they are doing is something that is not certain to be profitable.
by the way "Feeling uncomfortable, feeling bad with friends, feeling hostile is a certainty in friendships where they can be more aggressive than you." I often feel this way, even outside of the issue being discussed.
