"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."
John Donne
It's been a while since I read this quotation, but my one aunt in Ethiopia just sent it to me.
I think if we all realized how very truly we are connected to one another, this world would be a very different place.
