I would say that most human beings have been taught when they are children that give and take is healthy in all types of relationships.
Yeah? Do you think so?
I'll prove how it is not so.
Say I buy a coffee for you; thinking in my mind I am giving it to you. (You then become the taker of the coffee I just bought) It is impossible for me to see you as a giver at the same time I am giving you a coffee to drink. When you take the coffee I just purchased you can only be a taker of the coffee in your mind. Some other time you may buy me something, then I become the taker of that thing you bought for me (But never a giver at that moment in your mind)
So eventually give and take becomes conditional to each individual's value system, and most relationships break down under that pressure. Because each person has different financial obligations and restraints, and a simple cup of coffee will become more or less depending on the monetary lifestyle each person has.
