The image isn't completely destroyed but it doesn't fulfill its purpose either, which purpose consisted entirely in being a likeness. To illustrate this point one time while sharing at a homeless shelter, I began my message by spitting in a cup of water and then asking who wanted a drink. A little theatrical, but it got the point across. The cup contained mostly water, and just one glob of spit, but the whole cup was ruined for the purpose of drinking, and this reflects human nature...you get the picture...mrteaguehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00711332183728187484noreply@blogger.com
