Answer:
The "I-It" relationship is when we treat another as an object or a thing that can be used for another purpose. Conversely, "I-Thou" relationship is when we treat another as a subject with an inner life. It carries the hint of sacred quality of the relationship. Ultimately I-Thou relationships; how we relate to others is also how we relate to God or the 'Eternal Thou' and the opportunity of grace.
