Lending out resources!

Lending out resources!
When lending resources to friends, it is important that you consider the possibility that the items being borrowed may not be returned on schedule, or you may even entirely lose these things, due to certain unforeseen events or circumstances. One important lesson therefore, that you can learn from these types of transactions is the experience that resources may never come back to you on time at all. In view of these, one should consider therefore, when lending that the loss or delay in the return of these things should not jeopardize your own programs and activities. In short you should ask yourself this question: “Can you afford to lose the particular resources that you allowed to be borrowed?” If you can not, then it is best that you do not lend such resources, unless you can afford to suffer the inconvenience that will possibly result. Often times, the destruction of friendships are brought about by tying your own programs to these transactions, and the resulting inconvenience being experienced thereafter. Nobody can be fully certain of future events.
