 %RELATE WHOLE PERSON I-THOU I-IT INTEGRITY ANALYZE 930324

     We  cannot  relate  to a person as a whole  person of
integrity  while  we are preoccupied with an  analysis  of
them so that we can understand, predict, and control their
perceptions, attitudes, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.
The  I-It approach of objective analysis  and manipulation
undermines the  I-Thou relationships of  whole  people  of
integrity.

     No willingness,  ability, power or act of analysis of
another  person---with  associated attempts to  manipulate
and control---can  be  a  healthy sign of superiority over
the object  of the analytic violation of the integrity  of
the other person.   I-It approaches to people do not  make
those who make the approaches superior  to the people thus
approached.    I-It  approaches  do  not  lead  to healthy
cooperation,  but to unhealthy competition,  conflict  and
violence.   Even so,  many people who live in the world of
I-It  relationships tend to believe that they are superior
to   the   objects  of  their  analysis,    understanding,
predictions, manipulations,  and violence.     The deceive
themselves and each   other  through  collusive  games  of
mutual   self  deception;   and so are alienated from  all
people.
