The Mishneh Torah reminds us that when we lend money, it should be done with a spirit of generosity and compassion, not as a means to profit from another’s misfortune. We should see it as an act of kindness and support, recognizing that the borrower may be facing difficult circumstances. This teaches us the importance of empathy and treating others with dignity, even in financial matters.
