China Doll, If you were asking me . . .
I was using the broadest definition of relationships which would include the relationship between a thief or murderer and their victim. Unfortunately there are as many (if not more) forms of bad relationships as good, a good relationship being one in which all involved derive mutual benefit.
If what you are suggesting is that what is in actuality good for one must in fact be good for the other I would agree, with the stipulation that it is not just a belief but is really good proving to be so for both over time.
There is a possible exception to this rule being that even a bad relationship can be a good thing if a learning process follows from it (provided it is not fatal in consequence).
If this begs the question, �what is good�, I offer the following definition: Good is that which contributes to the well-being of a creature with the capacity and opportunity to make choices. Where there is no choice and in the absence of reason necessary to make the right choice, nothing else matters.
