Many of us cotton to John Donne's verse:
Quote: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 manor 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.
I care, because each of these acts say something about my tolerance, my lassitude, my willingness to accept the unacceptable.
I get that you are making comment on society at large, and it is indeed a cruel and heartless beast. But it is no excuse.
