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.


These words describes the world in a simple but perfect life. It also carries a review of the human race by its side, what the people of this Earth have been up to. Our world sometimes doesn't match with its reflexive verb, only some people run the world 'No man is an island entire of itself..' People does not appreciate others equally, why is there people in charge of the whole, the people that are just born and die is equal, they should be greeted and let go the same way 'any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind.' This world have experience these acts for so long we think it's the best idea. What if there are no boundaries, people working around the same rank, just then there will be no man as an island. But we people just can't help it, we decide to need someone to idol, we want someone to control ourselves, We rank others with what they've achieved. That is, the society.

This poem also shows that everyone is a part of something bigger. "..every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.."  I believe that everybody is connected, I came from the first two people that one day lived on earth. Some way or the other I am a relative to the seven billion people in this world living today. As family treat each other, not one has its right to belonging and happiness, we should feel the same when others feel different, '..as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were..' and that's how the world's society today should be.
