(1) Objective relationships? (2) Objective-reflexive relationships? (3) Reflexive relationships? It is when a relationship reflects back upon one's own person, body, mind, soul, spirit, competence, achievements, acceptability, reputation, appearance, and esteem---that issues of vulnerability, security and self- defense are most likely to arise. In such relationships it is NOT EASY to be involved with integrity, to describe accurately, to be honest, and yet to avoid: bias, fear, coercion, violence and personal manipulations---of self and of others. When one is trying one's best to be objective and to avoid the risks of bias in reflexive relationships---one is likely to be dishonest about one's failures to be objective in all regards; e.g., in regards to one's self and one's own relationships. Being honest about one's self and one's own relationships entails reflexivity which cannot be avoided. Pure objectivity is an illusion which can be maintained only through dishonest manipulations of appearances by participants in collusive games of mutual self deception. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
