Summary

This quote advises against borrowing money from those close to you, such as neighbors or friends. Instead, it suggests borrowing from a stranger, as once you repay the loan, they are unlikely to bring it up again or hold it against you. The implication is that borrowing from someone with no personal connection minimizes the risk of hurting a relationship or enduring unnecessary reminders or conflicts stemming from the borrowed money.
