Lending items or money to anyone can lead to many problems and create negative karma. Whenever we lend anything, we expect to get it back. If the item or money is not returned this causes problems for everyone. The person that borrowed the item has then stolen it, and will have to deal with all the negative karma that creates for them. The person that lent the item is now upset and angry over having lost it and that is negative karma they are creating for themselves, too. Friendships can be lost, fights can break out all because you lend things. If you cannot part with the money or item that someone is asking to borrow from you, then do not lend it. Tell them you are unable to help them out at this time. Sure, they may become upset, but that should be short lived. If they are your friend, then they will remain your friend. If they are someone that is just trying to take advantage of you, they will go elsewhere because they will learn they cannot do that to you. You are not being me...
