All in nature is round not square, life moves in round cycles. Planets, sun and moon are round even the winds move in circles.
Yet we humans choose a square life we sleep in square beds in square rooms. We eat in square rooms, relax in square rooms go to work in square buildings sit at square desks.
We are so out of kilter with nature whose rhymes flow in circles. Yet we ignore her ways and live such very square lives in square buildings.
Why? because we invented furniture. So much easier to arrange in square rooms. We let comfort dictate how we live even to the point of ill health.
Do we really need these nice but modern things? We sacrifice our well being to be like the Smiths and Jones. How much room do we really need? Somewhere to sit, eat and sleep is all really needed. Yet we continue to build massive buildings.
Taking land that could be better used to grow our food, for what? To make us feel more important! To show off to our neighbours all we have.
Live by natures ways and a sense of peace and purpose fills our days. Indians knew better with their tepees they lived as one with nature.
Old ways make far more sense and for fill us far more than a square. To be at peace and in tune with nature allow yourself to live a rounded life.

Oh Linda....I love it. I have put an unnecessary amount of thinking into this subject, but to keep things short, I fully get, and agree. Corners do in fact provide more surface area, but it is almost always wasted.....I will bring back a few writes on the subject.
