There is a concept that we can only BE in relation to something else, indeed even the most basic idea of true and false, 1 and 0 are in and of themselves relations. It permeates everything, a sort of cosmic dichotomy.

In the mundane it's our relation to ourselves and the world, but they are very fluid and chaotic. The believe in the metaphysical provides a means to ground a relation outside the chaotic uncertain reality, which can be very comforting and liberating.
