Astro,

I think you have ignited a haiku wildfire in the dry grass Gather hills!

Cool,

Colonel Possum

and purpose needs function to achieve its goal!

Ludo - Yes it Does - thank you - thank you - thank you! I also appreciate Astro Girl clarifying this with her wonderful haiku!

Isn't it amazing how poetry can capture in a few words what prose might take volumes to say? Of course, such poetry requires an artist to create it)

This is so cool Astrogirl! I love how you so brilliantly capture "function" and "purpose" so simply and elegantly!

Or if you prefer, read the tome, "The Relationship between Purpose and Function, a Philisophical Underpinning for Life" by Aristotle Hesse.
