I should accept his decision if he would not give me a favor. He has a right to say “No” anyway. Thus I should take the qonsency from my decision to ask him a favor.
3. Promise Keeping
Promise keeping means keeping one commitment. If the person said it is a loan, I should keep my promise to return his money back. There are many ways to do it. I can ask his bank account number and pay it later or meet him again on the later day just to give the money. Do not make a promised that you do not intend to keep.
4. Fairness
Fairness means open minded with not taking advantage of another diversities or treating people the way they deserve to be treated . In this case the question is not about “right or wrong” situation as a normative theory thus I apply The Golden Rule. Jeffrey Wattles (1996) admirably captures the Golden Rule’s virtues,
“The golden rule is from the first intuitively accessible, easy to understand, its simplicity communicates confidence that the agent can find the right way and it most commonly expresses a commitment to treating others with consideration and fairness, predicated on the recognition that others are like one self.”
