HELP

I've got a problem and I need your advice. I lent my bicycle to my friend and he sold it! He said he needed the money. I was very angry. He says I never used it anyway, so why am I angry? I said because it was my bicycle, not his, and he had no right to sell it. He says I am too materialistic, I should not care so much about having things, especially if I don't use them. I am still angry about it, but he is still my friend, I don't want to lose him. What would you do if you were me?

Hello, Chris!

I really understand your dilemma. If I were you I'd try to think what is most important in this moment: to have the bike back ou to still have a friend. Don't forget that your friend, I suppose, use the money to solve a real problem.
Think that you helped him loosing something that was important for you but you were not using.
Now, the best thing is to talk with him and know why he did what he did and have a promise from him of rewarding you or of not doing something similar again.

Hello Chris,

I'm sorry about it. In fact you had a big problem because you want your bicycle and you didn't want to lose your frind. I think If you still angry you are right, because he sold your bicycle whithout your permition, even you never used it. So I think you should talk to him, to show him that he did to resolve his problem is the wrong way. If he want the money he could ask for.Also you should tried to understand him, I Knew He did the wrong thing but he still your friend, if you don't do that you will lose your friend. Bicycle may be you can buy but friend you can't buy.

Hi Chris,
I'm sorry about your problem but I think that you should forgive him in my point of view you have to tell him that he hurted your feelings b'cause he didn't talk to you before he sold your property. To keep your friendship both of you must respect each other, it is the basic thing for a healthy friendship.
