What do you mean relationships are relative?

This is going to start sounding mystical - but bear with me please.
I mean that a relationship is the
relation between different things. Hence, a relationship describes how two things
relate. That is why it is relative.
That's not particularly interesting - UNTIL you come to realise that most things we call discrete objects - i.e. atoms, stones, cells, planets, light, sound, gravity - everything - when you look closely enough is actually created through the interaction, or relationships between something else. When you look closer at those other things, they two appear to be born out of the relationship between yet further things, all the way down until everything becomes too subtle for us to see them any more.
