Once again, in his last chapter, Savater still makes us reflect on his words…
He says that although time goes by, there are certain things that do not change: as human beings, we are born, love, fight and die. And as time goes by, we tend to share our life with people who have the same feelings, thoughts, or appearance and the one who thinks differently or is different to us becomes a danger.
I believe that if everybody had thought the same, or had been identical, this world would have been very boring and therefore, you would not have had the oportunity of going on learning from others, this is what I think it is the most important part.
As teacher, we should teach our students that judging by appearances will not lead them to know the real essence of people. Our reasoning power is of no value if our conclusions are based on faulty assumptions.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye.
Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment. (John 7:24)
