http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/thing I'd say that many definitions of "thing" can include "things" like family, love, happiness and chocolate.

A thing can describe a person...my family is very important to me. Not anymore I guess

Just as the most important cats in life aren't cats. The most important gym promotion pamphlets in life aren't gym promotion pamphlets. This is what you have essentially stated. That "things" are not "things". I feel i need clarification to comprehend why anyone has agreed that things are not things. Abstract thought is a thing. Love is a thing. Even "nothing" by virtue of the fact that we have named it and believe it can exist makes it a thing. Anything you ever think of is a thing. Thats why they call it "anyTHING" right? I need to go evaluate my life.
