Re: Are you morally obligated to repay a loan that you take?
Yes. If you borrow it, you pay it back. If someone feels sorry for you and loans you enough cash to attend a show, you pay it back, or try to, because I have friends, who won't allow it, because they insist it was a gift, but at least I try to pay it back. There is another old saying as well, if you make a mess or break it, you clean it up or fix it. I used to get really miffed at coworkers, who jammed up the shredder and then walked away. Okay, maybe they didn't have the expertise to fix it, but at least tell someone. Their philosophy was to walk away, knowing full well, that someone else would fix it. Besides, they didn't have time, since their projects were so much more important than life itself.
