I agree and disagree with you.

I agree that one cannot know humanity or the globe.
I disagree that feelings should stay with 'our small platoons'.

I would argue that you need not know something very well to try and do what is best for it.
By small platoons I mean mostly your family, your property, your local community and regions, your close friends etc not England or Germany or even the West country or Cornwall.

I agree with you but I don't think you let it interfere too much with your life nor should such feeling be very intense. I also think it would be very hard for you to know what is best for it, in fact it is bound to be contradictory.
