Is this some psychological theory?

I think it is talking about morality and us, as human beings.

Do a search for my previous "Homework" thread bahamut! - It has somethings about having people in your life and not being separated.

(Is that what "no man's an island" all about?)

Or are we talking BUSINESS here?

Greetings Mortals. My Name Is Wah, Arch Lich Wah.

Bahamut, this is a very deep and philosophical question!

I won't answer right away, as I have to go in 5 minutes, and cannot give it enough thought to do the question justice in that time. But I will answer probably tomorrow. OK?

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

Epona of The Laughing Hyenas

"No Man Is An Island" means, to me, that we all need other people to survive. That our actions don't impact only ourselves. And that we should always keep this in mind as we go through our days.

That's all. 'Nuff said. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/heee.gif

Sometimes I think I
understand everything,
then I regain consciousness.

So what you are saying is that some men are, in fact, "islands." I would argue that the phrase rings true. Even people that are physically isolated from society have psychological ties to someone or something to keep them going. Take, for example, Mr. FedEx in the movie "Castaway." He had Helen Hunt and his volleyball to keep him going. Even sociopaths, serial killers, and the like tie themselves psychologically and emotionally to parts of the world outside themselves. The other side of the coin are the strong, independent types. I would not consider them as "islands" as they demonstrate their strength relative to their surroundings. They show that strength in their interpersonal relarions. The only people I could think of that could be fully considered to be "islands" would be those in such a catatonic state that they could neither respond to stimulus nor could they form coherent thoughts. However, people that can't be considered sentient should probably not be included in this discussion.

If you were an Island, you would not be interacting on this board, for one!! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

For every action you take, you impact another - and that alone makes you NOT an island... get it? http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/hihi.gif
