The purpose of anger as an emotional energy is to push something away. We cannot be receptive and angry at same time, anymore than a hose can flow water in two directions at once. Money itself cannot harm us. However, it is often target of our anger when we feel that it has been used against us. If we feel that we have been betrayed, cheated or hurt in some way financially and are unable to release or forgive experience, we will hold it away from ourselves. Since money or success is part of experience, it will be held away as well.
