"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's quote talks to the interconnectedness of mankind. He is claiming that when any person dies, it affects everyone due to the fact that we are all part of the exact same human family members. He is highlighting that we need to not be so fast to evaluate or condemn others, due to the fact that we are all attached and also their death affects us all. He is also claiming that we must not be so quick to think that death just affects certain people, due to the fact that it impacts all of us. The bell that tolls is an allegory for death, as well as Donne is stating that when it tolls, it tolls for all of us. This quote is a reminder that we ought to be thoughtful and understanding in the direction of one another, since we are all attached as well as our actions have an influence on the lives of others.
