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 any manner of thy friends 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.
In this poem John Donne is trying to emphasize that each one of us is a part of the greater whole. No one can live alone without any role of society. Everone's life is so connected with others that it is difficult to imagine the flow of life in isolation. If anyone dies, it affects the whole mankind. Imagining a world without a small peice of land called Europe would throw the wholw world in a situation where mankind would not experience the scientific and technological advancements.
In our personal life also each one of our family members and friends help us in making our life complete and meaningful.
