Knowledge of the objective aspects of a personal relationship is not the key to understanding the nature of the personal relationship. It is impossible to meaningfully understand the nature of a personal relationship without a mutual personal relationship with at least one of the participants in the personal relationship. However, not all forms of mutuality are ways to such under understanding; many negative relationships are mutual. We may understand the personal relationships of only those persons with whom we share positive mutual personal relationships characterized by trust, respect, openness, honesty, and mutual vulnerability. Personal relationships cannot be regulated in meaningful ways. Only the objective aspects of personal relationships may be regulated, but such of objective regulation is not personally meaningful. Objective analysis of of objective behavior is not the means to meaningful understanding and regulation of personal relationships. The demonstration of an ability to exert control over the objective aspect of a personal relationship---does not demonstrate a meaningful understanding of the nature of the personal relationship, for with integrity the persons who are involved may decide to play games with the person seeking to exert control, and satisfy that person's superficial concern as a means to more meaningful ends. Objective means do not constitute a meaningful way to understand intimate personal relationships, no matter how sophisticated may be the objective means. Objectivity is not the means to all truth. Some forms of understanding cannot be enjoyed when dedicated exclusively to objectivity. Such forms of understanding cannot be understood or evaluated by objective means; they constitute a different "dimension" of life, and are "orthogonal" to objectivity. The set of values which are characteristic of exclusively objective people are values which are likely to do violence to personal intimacy if such values are presumed to be appropriate for the evaluation of intimate personal relationships. The successes of such values in the objective domain proves their value only there. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
