They believe that they are being objective in their beliefs, and are usually unwilling to examine other beliefs in any way other than in an objective way. To the extent that objectivists pay attention to persons and to personal relationships, they seek to do so by perceiving them through the filters of the objective paradigm. In their effort to avoid bias they refuse to participate in open and honest personal relationships. They engage in objectification and depersonalization. Objectivists have biases which lead them to approach I-Thou relationships in the I-It modality, and so to observe only I-It relationships. Their experiments demonstrate to them the correctness of their approach, and they believe that their perception of the results of their experimental approach justify the assumptions made in their approach. They cannot conceive the satisfactory fruits of making a different approach to self and others in the ways of Love. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
