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 sea, Europe
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
well as any manners 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.
John Donne
Anybody who tries to tell me that people can function without having other people around them is a liar.
Me and my mama went to the hospital today to visit an elderly relative and it was clear that she was overly greatful for the company.
Being alone is great for a while, but I know I couldnt function without my family and friends. My family is perfect, and I wouldn't change them for the world! I tend to keep a small group of friends, and though I may not always express it, I feel blessed to have them in my life.
You could be the most independant person in the world, but all humans necessarily depend on each other.
No Man Is An Island
