SUBJECT-OBJECT

Martin Buber, a Jewish spiritual leader,
called us to treat each other as subjects -
never objects. Do some deep thinking
on this? Here is a person or here is a
thing. Ooooooh! It makes a big difference.
That’s why I hate describing someone
as toxic or dysfunctional - but I keep
hearing others described as such.
Martin taught us to pause and see how
we see each other: I-Thou or I-It?
