How is it that for most of us average folks the intruduction of money into our daily friendships and family ties seem to always create tension? It is as if we cannot mix family matters and money or loan a dollar amount to a close relative without attaching certain emotional expectations to it. The family or relative too seems to feel less than tenderness towards us once we have given him/her money to be helpful. Is it because we do attach these "look I am doing you a favour" to the money or because the person receiving the money is already feeling badly about themselves for having asked for the loan in the first place. All of these my child are manifestations of the Ego, because in and of itself money is only a matter of mathematics.
I am really trying to keep my usual positive and hopeful attitude towards our humanity and mankind in general, but recent events have brought the old anger back in me which is really frustration and anxiety about Politicians and the money mongers of the world about which I can take no real action of any significance. I see hunger and destitude in the masses of this U.S. of A, the richest country on earth, I see the very weak and the elderly, the homeless and the hard working class suffer while the political will of some nuts is runnning amock! God help me to accept what I can change and that over which I have no control, and please God give me the wisdom to know the difference. It is nothing new, just different land, different time in the history of the ignorant man and the greed of the fools!
