Today I am presenting a real incident that happened to me. The incident took place in 2021. There is a serious attack of COVID-19 all around. There is a lot of crying all around. We are suffering from an economic crisis. Due to the covid19, office work is also almost closed.
My 7 friends are sitting and thinking about the future. At that time, one of our friends suggested forming an association. Where each member will deposit 2000 taka. In this way, we will keep depositing for 5 years. After 5 years, we will add some more money with this money and set up a business together with the seven friends.

The proposal was liked by everyone. Everyone started saving money happily. We have seen that many people have achieved success in life by saving money in this way.
Our seven friends started saving money every month. Occasionally, we sit together and make various plans about what kind of business we can do in the future. Our seven friends are very happy and keep dreaming colorfully.

After almost 4 years, our dream turned into a nightmare.
The friend with whom we had deposited all our money. Suddenly, he disappeared with the money. That is, he fled the area. Our dream was over.

Lesson learned: -

As far as I know, friends are the closest after parents. The unwavering bond of friendship is called attachment. This friend of mine has covered that relationship in black. He has stolen the money we have saved little by little and tarnished the sacred relationship called friendship.
Now I understand that even if we are friends, we should not trust anyone blindly. Especially, we cannot trust anyone related to money.

Reaction:-

Indeed, the friend ran away with the money, it is also true that he shattered our dreams. But still, I remember his words again and again. We spent so many happy moments together. When one of us was in trouble, the other would jump in. That day was ended by a dishonest friend. Now, some of our close friends are together, planning to start a new business here again. But I didn't have the courage anymore. We have a relationship with them as friends, but I am completely away from any financial transactions.
Although it hurts me to be away, I can't trust anyone anymore after the hurt I received.
The behavior of his wife and children hurt us more than the breach of trust. Their misbehavior has caused me to hate friendship. Now I spend more time with my family than with my friends.
I know that not everyone has negative incidents like mine. I have also seen the ultimate example of success. We were also encouraged by their success. But because of one of us, everyone's plans were thwarted.

So, I want to tell all my Steemian friends through this contest that Friendship is necessary for us. We cannot move on without friendship. However, we have to keep in mind that there should be no financial transactions. If we make financial transactions, we may lose money and also end the friendship.
So, friendships should be built with all aspects in mind and financial transactions should be made with careful consideration.

I would like to invite three of my friends:-
