For whom the bell tolls........

New Zealanders usually commemorate ANZAC Day, rather than Armistice Day , but this year being the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day, both days are being honoured.
Along with many communities, in celebration of the end of WW1, the churches in Riverton will be ringing their bells after 2 mins silence at 11 am. 
......but I am also  drawn to ponder 'for whom do the bells toll'  for me?
I am of the generation who have not personally lost any one close and I search for a meaning beyond lament, rememberance and respect.
Perhaps it is not so much "whom", but 'what'?
What about rooting out evil in my heart? About making the sacrifices needed to let go of grudges, much loved prejuduces and self interest? About pursuing a life that leads to reconcilliation, harmony and promoting the interests of others rather than myself?
I think I will ponder this as I listen to the bells on Sunday
