— What, then, does one experience of the You?Martin Buber, “I and Thou”, p. 61
— Nothing at all. For one does not experience it.
— What, then, does one know of the You?
— Only everything. For one no longer knows particulars.

Why?
This may seem like a rather random tumblr to start, and I agree. Had I been you, I would have left already. Having said that, I am not you and while you are you, you and I are really where it’s at, as you will see if you continue reading this blog.
Today, I came across Martin Buber’s amazing book “I and Thou” and it’s full of the sort of wisdom that could change my life if I figure out what it means. And so, without further ado here is your first taste of the Buber wisdom:
The world as experience belongs to the basic word I-It.
The basic word I-You establishes the world of relation.
Stay tuned for your daily I-You and I-It wisdom.
