"It can be straining, it can be frustrating, but we need it. No man is an island. We have to help each other however we can."

An old saying goes: "No man is an island", but in the case of Simon Parker, you might just disagree.

Donald Trump is that rare exception to the rule, no man is an island.

“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 if a manor of thine own or of thy friend’s were: any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee.”

That suggests — no, proposes overtly — that going it alone, “American-style,” isn’t always plausible and that, as the poet John Donne put it so many centuries ago, “No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.”
