The outstanding debts

    This forenoon I paid all my remaining fare of the electricity using to the previous landlord . We concluded our contract peacefully and happily . There was no argument , no compensation for furnitures . We talked like friends and shared some life experience with each other . He wanted to repay a part of rent to me because I didn’t stay in his house until the end of this month . I refused the 1000 RMB because it’s me who disobeyed the lease agreement . I was not a person struggling to be a moral model . It was a contract , the legal binding document .

    I have experienced many things that I can’t solve in a moral way and now I think our law can solve them . One of my comrades borrowed my money in army and didn’t return when I leave the army . 2 years later I became a common civilian and requested him to pay the money back but he rebuffed . I denounced his breaking of promise but he was shameless and told me that he wouldn’t  give my money back even for a cent . I was really mad and regretful for having lent money to him and started to seek the legitimate proofs . One year later , I accused him of refusing to pay off his debts and eventually I got my deserved money . I sweared that I would not establish any relationship with him anymore . I spent so many time and energy on this troublesome thing .

    It hurt me deeply because I can’t believe in my friends easily anymore . I don’t know why some people can cheat their friends and family out of money or other things so directly and without any hesitation . Which is more important in their heart between the friendship and the money ? Would I make a same selection someday when I faced a bigger temptation ? How about one million dollars ? How about a naked gorgeous beauty ? What’s your choice ?

    The value of a person can’t be judged from only one aspect . All the things became complicated after I stepped into society . I start to learn the new regulations in different surroundings and try to creat my own principle in my heart . I won’t be influenced by other people’s groundless scolding , even some legitimate criticism will be ignored if I have a more legitimate reason . Then I find I become that sort of person like my comrade who refused to return my money . As for his legitimate reasons , who cares ? I didn’t care about his reasons because I just wanted to get my money back . This is the place where problems occur and conflicts arise . Who cares ?

    Everyone is busy , some are busy living , some are busy dying , your whole life is busy .
