Family is family. Blood is thicker than water. These are noble sentiments that have encouraged beautiful sacrifice, forgiveness, and accomplishments. One problem with it though is that it too easily justifies provincialism and nepotism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A recent social critic observed that not long ago when people talked about getting together to do something \u201cfor our kids,\u201d whether it was build a swimming pool or invest in education, it was obvious that they meant <em>everybody\u2019s kids.<\/em> Or, at least, they meant more than just <em>their<\/em> biological kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But unfortunately, that\u2019s changed. When we say \u201cour own\u201d we don\u2019t think Americans or whatever country we live in, we think race. Or we think our blood relatives. That\u2019s awful. This system we live in demands that we think of ourselves as more than just parents to our own kids. We have to think <em>generationally.<\/em> We can\u2019t just think about getting ours, or protecting <em>ours. <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/dailydad.com\/it-takes-a-village\/?utm_source=sendfox&amp;utm_medium=sendfox&amp;utm_campaign=protect-yours\">\u200bWe have to think like a village\u200b<\/a>, like a group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Stoics remind us that we are \u201cmade for each other.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/dailystoic.com\/marcus-aurelius\/?utm_source=sendfox&amp;utm_medium=sendfox&amp;utm_campaign=protect-yours\">\u200bMarcus Aurelius\u200b<\/a> spoke dozens of times about the <a href=\"https:\/\/prints.dailystoic.com\/products\/sympatheia?utm_source=sendfox&amp;utm_medium=sendfox&amp;utm_campaign=protect-yours\">\u200b\u201ccommon good.\u201d\u200b<\/a> He didn\u2019t just care about his kids. He cared about everybody\u2019s kids. Because that\u2019s what justice\u2014what doing the right thing\u2014demands of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s better to think of \u201cour kids\u201d as everybody. We\u2019re all in this together, every single parent.
