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.
