I-it, Thou-he/she
This relationship happens when the I and the Thou are bound
together in the context of love
MARTIN BUBER
According to Martin Buber there are types of relationships these are I-it, I-Thou and
I-Thou eternal relationship.
For Buber, the I-Thou relationship represents the world of relationships. This kind
of relationship happens between the I and Thou.
When we place in relation to one another, I is shared and Thou is accepted as well.
When I and Thou would have a constant communication, they find meaning
because this is the start of no pretensions and true connection takes place.
Buber explains I-Thou is not to be discovered but it is met through our beautiful
journey. When we begin to start searching to execute a role for us, we are setting
up a tendency for an I-it relationship.
I believe that I experienced I-Thou
relationships with some of my close friends. I enjoy being with them, who accept
me of who I am and vice-versa. To be with my close friends companies I feel safe
and I can share the truth with them. We could make mistakes and sometimes we
let each other down. The good side we do not hold grudges and we know how to
forgive with one another. The I must allow the Thou to be authentic and real. The
Thou is discovered when there are no anticipation or no hopes.
The I-Thou relationship is by allowing to be true and freely to one another. For an IThou relationship happen, there should be no end goal.
Martin Buber explains love is the response of an I to eternal Thou. The I must
introduce himself, speak to the other, the Thou. The important belief of love is that
the Thou has reached out and spoken first. The act of love is truly a response. The
ultimate Thou is God. In I-Thou relation there are no pretensions and we could talk
to God freely. Being one with Thou can be express sharing our time and presence
with God. The I-Thou relation can stand in union with his nature, sharing of ideas,
of dreams and being true to each one of us.
