naturally seek and are able to achieve and maintain genuine,
meaningful relations with each other. The human person is
considered as a “being with others,” which means that his or
her identity and destiny are shaped by relating with others.
Human existence is a continual dialogue with the other, and
that the self becomes whole through interaction with other
people and his or her surroundings.
