I've seen this "inspirational quote" floating around facebook,
People were created to be loved.
Things were created to be used.
The reason why the world is in chaos,
is because things are being loved,
and people are being used.
I think it really should read as follows;
Animals were created to be loved.
Things were created to be used.
The reason why the world is in chaos,
is because things are being loved,
and animals are being used.
In my opinion, people refers to both human an non-human beings. Maybe it should read "beings"
But "people" in the dictionary is defined as "human beings, as distinguished from animals or other beings" whereas "animals" covers all of us, human and non human
