It is important for every individual to set up certain rules and limits on how they interact socially. We need to do unto others as we wish for them to do unto us.
The most important thing each and everyone needs to know is the humility that most people possess when they go to ask for a favor or help, and the aggression they have when they got to repay the same favor.
Therefore one needs to guard themselves against manipulation, greed and abuse of any sort. Principles teach one to leave by the sweat of their forehead and no matter what there shall always be individuals who want short cuts to benefit from others without putting any work.
Never hand out money or resources to any friend or anyone without a witness or contract, keep evidence and support your claim if need calls.
There are people with phones on WhatsApp mode that deletes messages every twenty four hours, save or screenshot conversations to retain your conversations proving releasing any form of resources or service.
This does not apply to stockvel or Motshelo groups only, it is vital to do so as individuals too. These days some people shall amaze you when it comes to payment of service or debt.
Put clear prices for your services; ask for date to pay and relevant questions too.
Social rules application is on clothes too, do not dress in a way that it will hurt the next eye, kindly try be more modest and if fashionable cover all the necessary parts adequately.
N:b; it is okay to say no to some people if you cannot do anything for them.
