Interest

The word interest has acquired interesting connotations.

Interest holds the liking to a subject-reading, writing , watching etc.

Interest also has a gripping significance in business and commerce.

The rate of interest is what we are talking about.

How did this word interest receive such a meaning in economy?,is my pressing suspicion.

Interest has a pleasant meaning.

That which forces you to get involved  is interest.

This is the most likely definition for the word.

Its induction in business, particularly in money lending activity must have been an ambiguous proposition.

Letting out money ,is itself a sin.

Collecting interest at the rate of percentages like 36% ,24%. 18% so on and so forth , is a severe transgression.

If you want to help your friends lend them money .

Then if they are willing to repay ,( they should, otherwise they are committing a crime,)accept the amount without any addition or multiplication.

This is true humanitarian approach.

On the contrary ,people lend money for interest , and get rich by the accumulation of interest.

They take compound interest , which is highly risky and  is a damn merciless action.

This inhuman activity might seem to be remunerative financially, but the mental ablutions are quiet extraordinary .

The revenue thus earned is highly immoral and callous.

But that appears the only way to make easy money , without facing loss, as the money lent has a material security with a lender.

We should find a new word  in English as a substitute to interest, when it comes in reference to financial output.
