How do we come to think of things, rather than of processes
in this absolute flux? By shutting our eyes to the successive
events. It is an artificial attitude that makes sections in
the stream change, and calls them things...
When we shall know the truth of things, we shall realise how
absurd it is for us to worship isolated products of the incessant
series of transformations as though they were eternal and real.
Life is no thing or state of a thing, but a continuous movement
or change.
-- S. Radhakrishnan
