Just wanna say you’re probably misunderstanding “ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee” because people have been quoting it out of context for forever. It’s not about how death is imminent and you’re doomed. It’s about how when you hear that someone else had died, it is a funeral for all mankind, and for you, because nobody is alone, and we’re all in this together. It’s about empathy and community you dummies, you fools, STOP using it wrong, what part of “no man is an island” did you not get, this ain’t Edgar Allen Poe, even though he’s great, this is Tennyson, check your shit, get it together, weep for the lose of strangers you cretins, I swear, I will fight all of you until you realise I love you, you monsters, come in for a hug so I can crush you
