Relationships are only good if the communication between at least two PEOPLE are excellent.
If you study illogical atheist Richard Dawkins you would find that a person is having a relationship with what they consider a living organism. This could be compared to the small scale of brainless slime mould cognition and or the zombie ant fungus.

The word meme itself is a neologism coined by Richard Dawkins, originating from his 1976 book The Selfish Gene.[12] Dawkins's own position is somewhat ambiguous. He welcomed N. K. Humphrey's suggestion that "memes should be considered as living structures, not just metaphorically"[12] and proposed to regard memes as "physically residing in the brain."[13] Although Dawkins said his original intentions had been simpler, he approved Humphrey's opinion and he endorsed Susan Blackmore's 1999 project to give a scientific theory of memes, complete with predictions and empirical support.[14] [en.m.wikipedia.org]
