No man is an island


John Donne (1624)
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. 








'Every Man is an Island'



John Undonne (2017)


Every man is an island entire of itself; every man 
is a piece of shit, a part of the toilet; 
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe 
will not be less, only if a promontory were, if


any manner of my friends I don't care only if my  
own were; any man's death doesn't diminish me, 
because I am not involved in mankind. 
And therefore never care to know for whom 
the bell tolls; it doesn't toll for me.

1.79:  Narrated Abu Musa: The Prophet said, "The example of guidance  and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like abundant  rain falling on the earth, some of which was fertile soil that  absorbed rain water and brought forth vegetation and grass in  abundance. (And) another portion of it was hard and held the  rain water and Allah benefited the people with it and they  utilized it for drinking, making their animals drink from it  and for irrigation of the land for cultivation. (And) a  portion of it was barren which could neither hold the water  nor bring forth vegetation (then that land gave no benefits).  The first is the example of the person who comprehends Allah's  religion and gets benefit (from the knowledge) which Allah has  revealed through me (the Prophets and learns and then teaches  others. The last example is that of a person who does not care  for it and does not take Allah's guidance revealed through me  (He is like that barren land.)"
