Inanimate or animate things

     What is an inanimate object? Something that you push a button and it goes, like an elevator or a garage opener or a tv remote control. It takes a human being to make them go. A car is also an inanimate object.  A person must decide when it goes or stops or waits.
    An animate object is a human being that moves, slowly like me, but anyway it moves. Plus it has a heart and soul. It will go to Heaven or Hell when the body dies.
    Keys on a keyboard are inanimate, they won't type unless you type. It's different on your cellphone.  But now I am using a computer. Put away your loudspeakers.
    Vacuum cleaners are inanimate objects, not that I know alot about them. We have one, like a blue stick. It gets noisy at times. Now it's off, which is another part of inanimate objects. Either on and off, all controlled by a switch. A kind of button. But controlled by people. Not themselves moving. Like an inanimate object, a blender.
    Carpets, socks, shoes, pants,shirts are also inanimate objects. Like stairs, especially Emergency Stairs, are inaminate objects. Ceilings and walls and doors--cover up those doorknobs if outside or which a lot of people use. Similarly, don't touch often used buttons or if you do, use your elbow. Then, consider the natural world.
     Clouds and wind and rain are inanimate objects. That leads to ice and snow---they just happen in certain places when it's cold enough. The whole earth, the sun, the moon, the stars and planets, in fact the solar system are inanimate objects. We move over them, up and down or paint them, they don't move.
      My main thought is that you shouldn't get angry at inaminate objects. If you make a mistake, like stepping too strongly or typing wrong, you can stop or go back and correct yourself.  Don't take it out on inanimate objects or human beings, unless you can't fully articulate yourself. Rest when you can.  God bless you. Matt
