A previous post may have made it look like I don’t think relationship or connection exist and we shouldn’t talk about them. That’s not true. I just think those are things that are a little dangerous to label in the context of training, unless perhaps you’re sure you’re on the same page with the person you’re talking with. I think they’re also things that happen simply as a result of time spent with another being, especially time not spent training. They happen because there is an exchange of, and reaction to, behaviors. Pleasant experiences beget pleasant experiences, and the opposite is also true. It’s *how* you do something as much as what you do. Relationship and connection happen as a natural consequence of interaction.
