There are no things, if you look a certain way at it all. Just ponder the word, "being": this might have it right, this might be the way "things" are. A cat is not a cat, but rather, it is a "catting". Even a chair is not a chair, but a "chairing". Even in the sense of physics, the countless molecules are held together not in a static fashion, but in a dazzling exchange of photons — these create the electromagnetism that holds the electrons to the protons, and the atoms to each other. But it is dizzying to think of all things in this fashion, I think. All things are in the process of change, but we must usually set limits on our delving into the true nature of them: only a madman or genius (or both) stares for an hour at a blank piece of paper lying on a desk, wondering at its unseen motion. We have a way of looking at things for such a reason, though maybe, just once in a while, you might want to bend the rules, and look at them otherwise. You might find it interesting how the most common things can still surprise you.
