"Only in relationship can you know yourself, not in abstraction and certainly not in isolation." - J. krishnamurti

Relate to other people across common barriers that separate: “right; wrong; good; bad; your side; my belief; anger and control.” In relationship a mirror rises in front of us, “not in abstraction or isolation;” but a true mirror. It reflects back to us who we are to others, how we are seen, how our voices are heard and how we love and are loved back. In reflection to others we know all the tender understandings, pain, suffering, love and compassion of every other human who has ever lived. That is true relationship.
