One of the most intense arguments I was involved before was with my cousin

last year. My cousin and I, since we were young, we had a habit of borrowing things
from each other and since college we lived in the same household wherein it is only
the two of us living there. That day, I was at school because I had a class. My
cousin, without asking, wore my favorite shirt. It was brand new, and I had only
worn it once. I tried to explain why I didn't want to lend it to her, since it was new
and also my favorite, but she told me I was being selfish with my things, even
though she always borrows everything else from me. That was the only time I didn't
want to lend her something, and I couldn't control my emotions, so I ended up
yelling at her because her comment about me being selfish really got to me.
I argued that it's not about being selfish, it's about valuing our possessions
and setting boundaries, and we have the right to decide what we're comfortable
lending. It's important to respect people's boundaries, and refusing to lend out a
particular item is a valid boundary. It's not about being "stingy" but about asserting
ownership. I found my reasons valid, for the reason that we have different
boundaries and respect to one another is a key factor to a healthy relationship
between one another.
I also argued about the potential for damage. There are unforeseen
circumstances that may happen along the way, accidents happen, and even a
careful borrower could damage an item. And I found my reason valid because it is
natural to be concerned about the potential for damage, especially when it's
something you value.
Finally, I also explained about having a basic courtesy. Seeking consent is a
basic courtesy that demonstrates respect for the owner's belongings, seeking for
permission shows that you value the owner's opinion and trust their judgment. And I
found this reason valid because seeking for permission shows that you take
responsibility for your actions and are willing to respect the owner's boundaries. It
demonstrates maturity and consideration for others.
By explaining the importance of these arguments to her, we came up with a
solution that when borrowing things from each other, we need to always seek
permission to each other first and respect each other’s decisions whether to lend it
or not. In conclusion, always seeking consent from the owner before borrowing
anything, especially valuable items, is a fundamental principle of respect,
responsibility, and good communication. It fosters trust, avoids misunderstandings,
and protects the interests of both the borrower and the lender.
