Are objects only objects because we compare them to another thing that has been named because of a comparison to something else?

Everything is dependant on something else to make it so, it's always comparing.

It's a ship compared to what?

Would we know the sky is the sky if we couldn't see clouds on the ground?

Inuits don't have a word for ice,where the European mindset would dictate there is nothing BUT ice. It's not worth comparing it to something else make a definition appearently, or perhaps there is nothing to comapare it to, to create a name for it?

Gotta love philosphy....
