There is usually a spiritual misunderstanding when using
it as an object, versus thou as a subject.
If one looks at their surroundings with a closed mind, they will only
see objects with no significance; however, if they can open their eyes
spiritual and try to feel the subjects by them, it becomes alive as if it were
someone and not something. Nature is a
very common misconception that is seen as an it. Usually, it takes a spiritual connection to
get in touch with the thou in nature. They
must use their sprit to connect with this lively place. The reason for this is because a man’s spirit
is in between for the I and You. This gives them a bridge that enables them to
get in touch with the subjects around them.
One can usually find the difference of the you and I
through religion. Believing in something
that is not concrete is hard for many to fully embrace; however, if one
completely gives themselves to their God or Gods, then that spiritual body will
watch over that individual. The message
Buber is trying to explain is that if one has a closed mind and limiting themselves
to their own thoughts, they will not be able to view the spoils this world has
to offer. On the other hand, if they can
see themselves as being limitless, they can fully experience their life and the
subjects that surround them. Everything
has an end goal, whether it’s as simple as a tree growing as tall as it can or
the full life of one man. They need to
view the world by being an it instead of an I, in order to experience this
lavish world.
