These
two words are quite common in our daily life, actually it may be seen too many
times that we started to ignore the real meaning of it. First I would like to
start with the different in meaning of these words. It is very difficult in
order to explain the different but I would say that everything can be
considered as an object but not just everything can be refers as thing.
According to my understanding we separate things and objects
by its function. Things refer to something that has more than one function as
the time goes by it started to have more and more use of it, assigned by not
just humans but sometimes animals as well. We can see in the film Dawn of Man,
bone that is actually made as a structure in our body suddenly develop another
function thanks to the apes, bone become a tool/weapon which obviously new task
for it. The bone has been “objectified” just like many things else in our
world, the nature helps evolving “things” along with time. On the other hand, objects
are refer to things that stick to the reason at the beginning and keep it that
way through time. It can be said that objects are timeless, they stay as what
they were before, while things keep changing over time along with human and
animals. The evolution of nature and lifestyle causes things to keep going
non-stop.
