Buy Nothing

November 24, 2005 | 2 Comments

All mankind is of one author and is one volume… No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main… 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.
–John Donne Meditation XVII

Our lives affect one another in ways that we can’t see. Your suffering means something to me and my joy means something to you. Invisible strands of interconnectedness bind us all together, and we live in a chain of cause and effect. These unseen strands of interconnectedness weave their way not only throughout the Trinity community, but across the seas and throughout the nations. This is why I’m participating in Buy Nothing Day, on November 25.
