Thing and Things - Is it all just a conspiracy?

Your host has been watching on Netflix, about some VERY interesting things about weird things that things may or not, come together but things are happening.
First, I was sceptical about these things. Things – think about it. What are THINGS?
Before I continue with my conclusion about THINGS, first we must look at the definition.
In Japanese –‘things’ are called ‘monogoto’.
In Finnish it is called ‘asiat’.
In Swahili it is called ‘vitu’.
Small examples – until you read the English definition – now you get seriously confused…
Noun

Noun
- a material object without life or consciousness; an inanimate object.
- some entity, object, or creature that is not or cannot be specifically designated or precisely described.
- anything that
is or may become an object of thought: things of the spirit.
Confused?
But of course. As males in our teens, we pulled on our thingy, which had become animate when thinking of geography teacher, Mrs Nelson’s melons and scream ‘Oh God I want my thingy in her.’
Which of course would never happen and mathematically thinking, she is now about 86 years old – if not dead. Which is a shame – I did fancy her.

But the thing is – in our
present time, things are getting rather confusing. To a point where a 17 year
old will look at a record player and ask ‘What is
that THING?’
In Rhodesia – we had an understanding. A fascinating form of communication. If something was broken, someone would try to repair it and ask his side kick ‘Pass me a thingy ma Jig.’ The side kick, instinctually knew what tool to hand over.
But today – in this ‘modern world’, (which grates on my nerves. In the 1980s’s did the News claim they lived in a ‘backward world?’ Hardly. )
Things change and so do the things you have. The thing is – have you ever thought about the use of that word? How easy it is to describe- NOTHING. An excuse or laziness of language?
Think – How many times have you heard or seen on TV a presenter telling you that THINGS are happening? Take for example – Brexit or a snow avalanche in Austria. Things may happen but if they don’t - things have not happened.
The thing is – where was the thing? Was it there but now not there? Did things happen to change things?
Why is it that things come and go? What are these things that appear and disappear at the whim of those that behold the word in their heads?

Wife – ‘Oh do you like my Mark 6 tomato smasher;
this thing was on offer. `
Husband – ‘Get rid of that fucking thing before I turn you into a thing.’
The thing is – it has become a part of lazy language. A ‘thing’ has become a non-empathy of our psyche.

Just THING about it.
