No man is an island - ext

TO the question: What can we do to reduce, if not eradicate, the feeling of exclusiveness? in "The dangers of exclusiveness" (This N That, July 8), I would like to quote these words of wisdom, written more than 500 years ago:

"No man is an island, entire of itself ... any man's death diminishes me, because I'm involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee." – John Donne (1572 - 1631)
