The Thing --- Reloaded

There is a theme, a thread, a single thing that runs through all the posts in this blog.  Hard to follow for you perhaps.  I write too much volume about that thing and say too little.

There is only one thing to know:  Every thing is a thing.

There are only two parts to any thing:

1.  The object thing

2.  The action thing

Looking at all things as things, which is the simplest way to look at them,  is the object oriented view point.  All things are objects.

The hard part is to see an action as a thing.  It defies our earliest teaching that a thing is a noun and an action is a verb.  The first step in educating us about our natural language.
