"Neither can we call this a begging of misery, or a borrowing of misery, as though we were not miserable enough of ourselves, but must fetch in more from the next house, in taking upon us the misery of our neighbours." (Meditation XVII, Paragraph 2)

This would be some of the suffering that John Donne was referring to when he said that more would let you achieve a better heaven/afterlife.

"But on the last day an astonishing number of English field guns opened up on us with high-explosive, drumming ceaselessly on our position, so that we suffered heavily and came back only eighty strong."

In these two quotes, it shows an example in our book of who the bells toll for. Everyone, no matter what you do and where you are, the bells toll for you one time or annother. This is just one of many examples of how the bells toll for people.

"Then you can look out from the window across the fields to the two trees on the horizon. It is the loveliest time of the year now, when the corn ripens; at evening the fields in the sunlight look like mother-of-pearl. And the lane of poplars by the Klosterbach, where we used to catch sticklebacks! You can build an aquarium again and keep fish in it, and you can go out without asking anyone, you can even play the piano if you want to."

Even though this quote isn't referring to the wealth and free time that someone may have, it still shows two completely different lifestyles that the character we follow has (one at home, and one in the war). Even though one is nicer than the other, if you spent your whole life living in or the other, you'd still meet your death eventually. There's no running from the bell's toll, no matter your wealth and success in life.

"When my mother says to me "dear boy," it means much more than when another uses it. I know well enough that the jar of whortleberries is the only one they have had for months, and that she has kept it for me; and the somewhat stale cakes that she gives me too. She has taken a favourable opportunity of getting a few and has put them all by for me."

Paul's mother is a very, very kind person. And, as a result, she sacrifices rations to paul in order to keep him safe and healthy. But, from John Donne's point of view , this sacrifice is seen as suffering (seeing as she might be hungry in her lack of food) and that she will get into heaven because of it. God is the security that watches over you and judges your actions and suffering.

"We march up, moody or good-tempered soldiers – we reach the zone where the front begins and become on the instant human animals."

Looking at what John Donne says about every man being unified in a single continent, we can see that in this example of the military ranks from AQOTWF shows men of lower ranks being put into the battlefield by their superiors. The point that I'm making is that no matter your rank, you're always connected, and there will always be one lowest rank that has to do the "dirty work" (also relating back to the suffering to get into heaven).
