The essence of human relationships resides in subjective realities, not in objective behavior. Thus, attempts to improve human relationships (or to inhibit undesirable reflexive relationships) must be focused upon the essential subjective realities; else the attempts will be futile. For this reflexive reason legalistic attempts to improve human relationships will fail. This fact is a special case of the fact that technocratic attempts to improve human relationships will fail---legalism being a particular form of technocracy. To improve human relationships we must focus upon relationships---not upon individual objective behavior. Human relationships are not composed of objective behavioral acts. Essential aspects of human relationships are subjective/reflexive in nature and can not be related to in objective ways. To relate to human relationships as if they were composed of objective behavioral acts---is to violate the essence of those relationships---unless the relationships are so devoid of spirit/soul as to be exclusively objective in character. Individuals are not responsible for their human relationships in a way which permits assignments of fault or credit to individual participants. Meaningful human relationships transcend the participants. Thus, guidelines to meaningful human relationships are most helpfully directed to the relationships, not to isolated individuals. The transcendent role of the relationship must be acknowledged before helpful guidelines can be formulated. Issuing injunctions to individuals will not help those individuals participate in meaningful relationships. Reduction of relationships into objective individual transactions will not encompass the full reality of meaningful human relationships---even when helpful insights are thereby acquired. Helpful guidelines to participation in meaningful human relationships flow from relationship to relationship, not from isolated individual to isolated individual. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
