Why is it wrong to value strangers as much as you value your loved ones?

Every stranger you see has a life that could be richer than yours or anyone you know. They may be more righteous. There are millions of starving children, why do they come after your own?

Utilitarians would argue that it doesn’t matter. But for me it’s because we have an intuitive feeling of obligations based on proximity. Yourself, your loved ones, your friends are all people that you have moral obligations for. You can’t just stop feeding your dog because you’re giving the money to a charity that saves children’s lives, even if that would be a moral action purely based on utility. Why this is the case is harder to argue because it rests on the assumption that obligations actually matter. If you don’t have this presupposition then it is very hard to convince you as it hits the bottom of what assumptions should be taken as intuitive truths when dealing with morality.
