John Lewis (1940-2020)

For Whom the Bell Tolls

No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each 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 if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

~ John Donne (1572-1631)


IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE IN THE INTERESTS OF BASIC DECENCY. 

CANCER IS THE COMMON ENEMY OF 

ALL MANKIND. 

IT RESPECTS NO RACE, RELIGION, AGE, SEX, SOCIAL POSITION, OR DEGREES OF BEAUTY OR UGLINESS, NO POLITICAL PARTY OR IDEOLOGICAL POINT OF VIEW. 

EVEN THE WORST OF US SHOULD BE UNITED WITH THE BEST IN FIERCE DETERMINATION TO FIGHT CANCER, AND PRAY 
FOR ITS ANNIHILATION. 

CANCER IS THE ONLY THING I KNOW THAT IS AS BAD AS MARXISM, WHICH, ITSELF, IS A FORM OF MORAL, SPIRITUAL, INTELLECTUAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL CANCER.
