Reading the book of Fernando Savater I saw a pair of lines that strongly capted my attention. When I was young, my family, teachers, and people in general kept telling me to put my things in order. They said what objects belonged to what places and so on, admitting that their order was the right and I was expected to follow it. I kept thinking and asking myself why did my parents tell me that my order was wrong, if there was not a book nor law that said how the order in general should be. At last, I agreed with my parents and teacher's order and appeared to accept that order.
There are conditions that affect the ideologies we walk on. Tolerance I think its a very important condition. If my parents or my teachers above all, would have been tolerant to my type of order, my entire life would have been different. I think that people have stereotyped the word order and acceded to the general conception of it.
I learned in this chapter that order " denotes an attemp to introduce unity and articulates relations within a multiplicity of elements". In addition, I noted that we tend to classify everything surrounding us, making me wonder if everything is a casualty or is it ordered in a determined mode we can't recognize. These questions are difficult to answer but with open minded attitudes and a sense of tolerance we could be capable of figuring out that order is relative, different and doubtful.

I like your idea of how we have estereotyped order, its like love, even though there is a general perception of love everyone feels love different. order will be different for everyone, as everyone by experience has had different ways of working and feels that this "order" is the way to go.
ResponderEliminarI agree with you, since we are little we are told how “our order” should be, and I think that is not something that can be taught, I think that an individual’s sense of order is as personal as its own thoughts or feelings not something guided by a social standard or anything like that. Savater words make it very clear, “your order could be my chaos”.
ResponderEliminarI think the teachers and grown up people try to introduce in us their order, and because we are little we accept easily their order, but when we grow up our personal characteristics become stronger and that is the reaso that we start defending our order and our thoughts.
