    Why do we need to learn to play with other children, when we are children? Why do we care what is worn? Why do we mind what others do or say?
    How does our play affect our growing to maturity?
    When John Donne wrote that “No Man is an Islande unto himself,” what was it that he meant?

    I feel that Donne was referring to the absolute fact that we cannot live totally alone. In so many aspects of our life we do need other people, parents to nurture us, friends to love us, other family members, colleagues. Try as any one might to deny the necessity for input into our lives from others – it would have to be one of greatest difficulties in life.
