Since the beginning of philosophy class, we have talked about what philosophy is, what we should expect about death, even that we are or we are not, that we need more things to survive than animals. But one thing that we have not spoken about is about things bigger than ourselves.
There is something in our human nature that always makes us classify things, and this is no exception. Fernando Savater tells us that we classify our world in many different ways. We start little, like our family, closest friend or schoolmates; but it suddenly increases to a point we do not just take people in our country is in our personal world, but also THE WHOLE EARTH. Savater makes a really good point, I think every human alive does this unconsciously; each and every one of us has this divisions in their life.
Even though we have too many worlds to live in, the ones that we feel more comfortable and covet the most are the smaller worlds that we live into. For example, I would choose my family over my friends, and my friends over my neighbors and so on, and I am sure everyone would do the same.
Bernardo good post, but I think you should've made it more interesting by picking a more controversial topic, because you're points of view are always interesting and could create a nice discussion forum. Other than that good post. Also, don't be so sure that everybody would do the same because the world is full of diversity and there are people who would choose their city over their family for example... some people are all about the greater good so, be careful when using the word "everybody".
