subject relative

The most literal way to explain every one is their own person. Everyone is a “subject” meaning they experience the world of objects around them. Relative meaning each person has a point of view, or a point of you. While you may think you know what someone is experiencing you can never actually come close to knowing it, but you should respect is as much as you respect your own experience.
We are all subject relatives. The only way we all relate is that we are subjects.
