“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 friends or thine own were.”
This quote is saying that no one is an island, completely independent of others. Instead, each individual is part of a larger whole, whether that’s a community, a country, or the planet. What happens to one person affects more than just them – if something unfortunate happens to you, it not only affects your friends and family, but the larger world too. Everyone is part of one big connected network. If a part of the world is somehow damaged, such as by a storm or some other destructive force, the loss is felt by everyone, no matter how small that piece is.
