A family is not a thing, it is a collection of relations, occurrences, feelings. And a human being? Of course it's not a thing; like the cloud above the mountain, it's a complex process, where food, information, light, words, and so on enter and exit. . .

Conversely, a kiss is an "event." It makes no sense to ask where the kiss will be tomorrow. The world is made up of networks of kisses, not of stones.

Alt text for the first tweet: The difference between things and events is that things persist in time; events have a limited duration. A stone is a prototypical "thing": we can ask ourselves where it will be tomorrow.
