Giving Instead of Lending

I listened to an acquaintance rant because he lent a friend some money and it has not been repaid. He said the person who borrowed the money has not even mentioned the loan, like it did not even happen.
This made me think of words given to me long ago by  a wise man.  "If you cannot afford to give the money to someone who asks you for it, then do not lend the money.  That way, if you do not get repaid, you won't be upset, because you gave the money."
It makes sense to me. 
Take care,
Sylvia
