      Didn’t you know? Your “fellow man” is the same religion &/or ethnicity as you (not your exact gender. That would be crazy talk). It’s impossible to view yourself as a global citizen, the entire human species as your fellow man, all life on Earth as your relatives, or all matter in the universe “same same, but different” forms of energy.
