A platoon friend of mine called up me asked for $300 loan. Nah, he is not the one I'm always talk about. (Always called up once a month to ask for money as if I'm father)

There another chap (also platoon mate) who borrowed from me $200 six months ago and never heard from him since then. Didn't chased him for my money though.

Learn that,
Need you called you brother.
No need you, asked you don't bother.

As for this person, I shall call him Mr L.

Now my dilemma is this, Mr L never borrows money from me before and I should help him tide over his difficult time right?

But as you all know: Money ruins friendship.

Somehow, somewhere money always puts a wedge between friends. It puts me in uncomfortable positions if he doesn't pay up, etc. Let's assume I am a freaking bleeding heart and I can't stand to say no to my friend because I don't want him feeding his wife or children with animals food or leftover.

So what do I do?

If I part with my dough and he doesn't repay, I end up eating with animals food or leftover myself.

Torn between friendship and eating leftover, finally I agreed to lend him $300 and he promised to return on 22 July. Look on the bright side, if he default my loan, since it was insignificant amount anyway, he'll never ask me for money again and he'll stay out of my life.

Last note, helloooo...I'm not operating a money lender business here, ya
