You are right, however it seems to be a contradiction because I should have qualified , that for no 3 its applicable only in the event that I do need to borrow, I would honour the debt.  Anyway, the background to that article was I was letting off some steam and wrote passionately with someone in mind (who is a "high society" person).  I do stand by my belief that one shouldnt borrow but the world is not a perfect place and there are desperate people who need to borrow, which is fine but they must honour their debt.  Thanks for reading.

Then you say you must honor your debts. To me, it seems like a contradiction.

I read it with interest .... and how true. Something bothers me though. You wrote this: 1. It is important to me that people do not judge me as a debtor. 2. It is important to me that I do not give away my power by borrowing. 3. It is important to my sense of self-worth that I honour any debts. 4. It is more important to me that people know me for the poor humble woman that I am rather than high society borrower. Now, correct me if I am wrong but isn't there a discrepency there? Numbers 1,2 and 4 seem to contradict Number 3. Yes I know what you mean but if I had said that when marking exam papers, all my students would have passed. I believe you are trying to drive home an important point, viz. not to borrow, period. Then you say you must honor your debts. I honestly do not mean to be critical but I guess it's all these years of teaching the language that has confused me I guess. Best Wishes. shay Dear Nora,

Good article. I read it with interest …. and how true. Something bothers me though.

You wrote this:

1. It is important to me that people do not judge me as a debtor.

2. It is important to me that I do not give away my power by borrowing.

3. It is important to my sense of self-worth that I honour any debts.

4. It is more important to me that people know me for the poor humble woman that I am rather than high society borrower.

Now, correct me if I am wrong but isn’t there a discrepency there? Numbers 1,2 and 4 seem to contradict Number 3.

Yes I know what you mean but if I had said that when marking exam papers, all my students would have passed.

I believe you are trying to drive home an important point, viz. not to borrow, period. Then you say you must honor your debts.

I honestly do not mean to be critical but I guess it’s all these years of teaching the language that has confused me I guess.

Best Wishes.
