It is common for humans to bestride the world emitting waves that scan the environment. Many, for example, are ever searching for signs of danger.  The radar of others looks for things to be angry at.   Some others look for things to be amused by. What would it be like to scan the world to sense things to be grateful for? -- DL

This type of scanning allows finding those things and qualities that people are looking for in fact. This radar helps to move in the right direction.

    The primary word I-Thou can be spoken only with the whole being. Concentration and fusion into the whole being can never take place through my agency, not can it ever take place without me. I become through my relation to the Thou; and as I become the I, I say Thou. All real living is meeting.
    —Buber, I and Thou
