Gods and Other Things We Worship

We all have focuses that steer our lives: God, the universe, Gaia, the family of man, my particular family, money, fame and/or power. Some of these things conflict with others. Depending on our focus, we strive for different things. If the effect of your action is different from your chosen focuses, you have chosen conflicting focuses, or you are ignorant, or deluding yourself.

Human philosophies cover a range of basic focus styles. The more restricted a focus, the more exclusive it is. As the focus is broadened it necessarily encompasses more factors. Focuses range from: Me, mine, ours, all of ours and everything (maybe more degrees as I flesh this out). .

The broadest focus say that we should respect people, their stuff and to support people (at least those in “my group”).
