Loan shark
While the guy is in a trance, winning-losing and gambling away his money, he is in too deep.
He ran out of money and can't gamble anymore.
So you offer him some more money to gamble with. And he loses that too.
Next time he sees you, you offer him even more money.
And more and more and more.
Each time he sees you, he borrows more and more.
Until after a few months, you want your money back. But he has gone ahead and lost all of it. Including what he owed to other people.
Hes on the run now. He can either commit suicide or run away. There's no paying such a debt back.
Scenario two:
You borrow from the banks. The banks have agreed to lend you a lot of money for your new project. You start your project but midway you run into some issues and require more loans. The bank says okay.
Six months later you finally finish all your projects. You think you've done your best to keep the costs down. But you look into your account and see that you are down 140grand with interest.
Now you're in trouble. Now the banks can make thousands of dollars off you on interest alone. You aren't even paying towards the principle anymore.
God, how do we deal with this?
In Jesus name,
Amen.
