For whom the bell tolls
John Donne Meditation 17 Devotions upon Emergent Occasions
"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man 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 thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee..."
So this is food for thought. A famous quote, 'Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.' It talks about how we are all connected with each other, man or woman, boy or girl, young or old.. One view on it is that every time one person dies, a little bit of us dies inside as well. Imagine, we carry the deaths of millions upon millions of people who have died through the ages.. A humbling thought. And yet every day, we are adding to the burden more and more. The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Death, Disease, Famine and War. Are they not creations of our own hands? Well, the way I see it, we can all do our part. Treat the people around you better, make their lives better in even the smallest ways.
'Ask not for whom the angels cheer for, they cheer for thee.'
