“a friend is someone who knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.”
When we see someone as a subject rather than an object, we open ourselves up to the possibility of change and transition. There is harmonious growth rather than a transaction.
There is no inherent structure or form that confines an I-Thou relationship. It simply evolves as the two subjects continue to mesh and grow with each other over the course of time.
