Getting to know you, getting to know all about you, getting to like you, getting to hope you like me is a show tune of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Musical Production, the King and I. It will establish the foundation for the Tao of Human Relations.
The Tao of Human Relations asserts human relationships do not differ from the produce of gardens. When planters of gardens move in harmony with seed, soil, water and conditions; plants have opportunity to grow to full blossom and harvest. When planters of human relationships move in harmony with the seed, soil, and water in human connections context, human relationships have opportunity to grow to full blossom and harvest.
The Tao is a Chinese philosophical approach to understanding life that considers the underlying principle underlying the universe, combining within itself the principles of yin and yang and signifying the way, or code of behavior, that is in harmony with the natural order.
Simply put, everything begins with the seed. Seed is not educated in universities. It does not matter which came first seed or harvest producing more seed. Seed comes to us from the harvest of ancestral generations. Ancestral generations producing the most efficient and abundant growth have their seed, as well as their fruit, harvested and the circle of life continues.
People all over Planet Earth all the time seek how to actually benefit from understanding the Tao of Human Relations. Humans want to get to know each other because enjoyable human contact gives meaning to personal and professional social life. Once a how–to approach is established, the probability for successful outcomes increase and people have more control over input and outcome.
Some of our intimate personal and organizational professional relationships happen by the incident but we still need information and a how-to approach. They are not intentional because we did not seek them out. We meet some in the events of our day to day managing our personal, social or professional life. Sometimes these incidental relationships become seeds in themselves. Properly cared for with intentional attention of good soil (time spent together creating opportunities for the experience of meaning and joy}, water (the intentional gift and demonstration of care), and conditions (environment for personal and professional relationships to grow) can prove to be rewarding connections adding significant meaning and feel good happiness to life.
Some of our intimate personal and organizational professional relationships happen through the design of our intention. We prepare ourselves through intentional personal and professional development to have something of quality to offer to one special individual or to an organization we determine to be a good fit. They are intentional because we did seek them out and prepared ourselves to nurture the potential connections to full harvest equal to or greater than the intention of our expectations for ourselves and our loved others.
These are the choices before us as we live out the Tao of Human Relations. For relationships to be purely organic, the right conditions must be in place for the harmony of seed, soil, water, and conditions. This can happen incidentally or intentionally. Either way, preparation is necessary to be ready for best case conditions to have the opportunity to yield the harvest of personal or professional relationships that are meaningful and fulfilling.
