THE WORLD AND ITS OUTSKIRTS
What I found really interesting on chapter 5 "The World and its Outskirts" is when Fernando talks about "our world", which I think it is very true, there are different levels starting from our near people and expanding to the the whole world or even farther. I think this is interesting because every person lives first in his own little world that is his close friends, his family, the people he sees in school every day, etc.. Then other levels can be the whole city of Torreon, or even the entire country, after we can find the whole international community and going farther the whole world which we all live in. There are much more other levels going father like the solar system or why not the whole universe. As you can see there are many different levels but what I found most interesting is "my world" because I started thinking about other persons in other cities, countries, and realize every person in this world has his own little world, his own groups of friends, his own cultures. After I think of this I realize how many different cultures, languages, habits exists in this world and that even do there are millions of different persons in this world we all come from the same place and will go to the same place. Other thing I found interesting is when Savater says " by the why, what is most noteworthy in this series of worlds is that most those most vitally important to me are precisely the smallest and narrowest. I am far more worried about a gas fleak in my flat or an earthquake in my country than about the colossal conflagrations of heavenly bodies." I stared to think about this and I found it is true I am 100% more worried of my house getting in fire than Iran throwing a bomb near my country this means that I am more worried of narrowest things than bigger problems.

I agree with your opinion Alejandro. I think that of course I will care more about my friends and family, that the friends and family of a Chinese person. We belong to a lot of groups since we are born. We belong to our family and friends, to our community, to our country, to our world and we can go farther and farther beyond. What I really found interesting is how we care the most for our little world, which really are really few people compared to the world’s population.
