I'd say I'm reading into them the regular amount. Your entire premise is that you wouldn't just hand money to a friend for no reason. I challenged this mentality and whether or not such a friendship is ideal, offering a perspective into why there are more important things in life than money.
If this isn't your intent, you should reflect on how you've presented your argument.
I didn't say you have to say no, I said you can say no without any negative implications on your friendship.
I have no idea where you got saying no as a matter of principle.
Also if saying no is putting money above friendship then so is the friend asking for money for no reason!

right after this yous say:
> Also if saying no is putting money above friendship then so is the friend asking for money for no reason!
No, it isn't, and the fact that you see it that way perfectly illustrates the point I've been trying to make.
To be clear, I don't think either of them is putting money above friendship.
But you haven't explained why you think sometimes saying no is a problem. You said a thing about philosophical principles but I've explicitly told you that's not what I meant. So it's hard for me to make this comparison without knowing what you mean.
