The question monads answer is: How do I make the components of my program recombinable in ways that the result is also a monad. Monads are like LEGOs, you can combine them in any way and what you get is something to which you can attach still more lego-pieces. It doesn't matter how exactly lego pieces are able to connect together. What matters is that you can combine any Legos together with that same mechanism and get as result something to which you can attach even more Legos. Maybe a better name for Monad would have been "Lego".
