I am involved

.

 

No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
 
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
 
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
 
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend’s were.
 
Each man’s death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.

Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.


–John Donne
