Someone once told me this bizarre theory that everything belongs to one (or more I think) of four basic categories. He said that basically everything is either Toys, Games, Candy, or Jewelry. I think it's a pretty strange way of looking at things and I'm not sure what it's supposed to prove but I can't think of anything that couldn't be categorized as Toys, Games, Candy, or Jewelry.

Tools are toys, all food is candy, living beings are composed of a varying amount of each of the four elements. Stop trying to outsmart the system, bros

Humans and animals can belong to any of the categories depending on the circumstances because they are sentient and animate.

If you put ketchup on a hot dog it is Candy. If you put ketchup on your shirt it is Jewelry. If you put ketchup in a squirt gun then you have a Toy full of Candy that can be used to play a Game of giving people unwanted Jewelry.

Air is candy in the very loosest of sense, as in like, you consume it so it is candy. Actually I don't really think that air exists so it prolly does not fall into the four elements, perhaps we should add a fifth sort of 'outsider' element: ghosts

Toys games candy jewelry and sometimes ghosts

Substance (οὐσία, ousia, essence or substance).[6] Substance is that which cannot be predicated of anything or be said to be in anything. Hence, this particular man or that particular tree are substances. Later in the text, Aristotle calls these particulars “primary substances”, to distinguish them from secondary substances, which are universals and can be predicated. Hence, Socrates is a primary substance, while man is a secondary substance. Man is predicated of Socrates, and therefore all that is predicated of man is predicated of Socrates.
Quantity (ποσόν, poson, how much). This is the extension of an object, and may be either discrete or continuous. Further, its parts may or may not have relative positions to each other. All medieval discussions about the nature of the continuum, of the infinite and the infinitely divisible, are a long footnote to this text. It is of great importance in the development of mathematical ideas in the medieval and late Scholastic period. Examples: two cubits long, number, space, (length of) time.
Qualification or quality (ποιόν, poion, of what kind or quality). This determination characterizes the nature of an object. Examples: white, black, grammatical, hot, sweet, curved, straight.
Relative or relation (πρός τι, pros ti, toward something). This is the way one object may be related to another. Examples: double, half, large, master, knowledge.
Where or place (ποῦ, pou, where). Position in relation to the surrounding environment. Examples: in a marketplace, in the Lyceum.
When or time (πότε, pote, when). Position in relation to the course of events. Examples: yesterday, last year.
Being-in-a-position, posture, attitude (κεῖσθαι, keisthai, to lie). The examples Aristotle gives indicate that he meant a condition of rest resulting from an action: ‘Lying’, ‘sitting’, ‘standing’. Thus position may be taken as the end point for the corresponding action. The term is, however, frequently taken to mean the relative position of the parts of an object (usually a living object), given that the position of the parts is inseparable from the state of rest implied.
Having or state, condition (ἔχειν, echein, to have or be). The examples Aristotle gives indicate that he meant a condition of rest resulting from an affection (i.e. being acted on): ‘shod’, ‘armed’. The term is, however, frequently taken to mean the determination arising from the physical accoutrements of an object: one's shoes, one's arms, etc. Traditionally, this category is also called a habitus (from Latin habere, to have).
Doing or action (ποιεῖν, poiein, to make or do). The production of change in some other object (or in the agent itself qua other).
Being affected or affection (πάσχειν, paschein, to suffer or undergo). The reception of change from some other object (or from the affected object itself qua other). Aristotle's name paschein for this category has traditionally been translated into English as "affection" and "passion" (also "passivity"), easily misinterpreted to refer only or mainly to affection as an emotion or to emotional passion. For action he gave the example, ‘to lance’, ‘to cauterize’; for affection, ‘to be lanced’, ‘to be cauterized.’ His examples make clear that action is to affection as the active voice is to the passive voice — as acting is to being acted on.

Emotions are the Jewelry of the psyche, and the good ones are Candy to many, although unscrupulous people will use them as Toys and play Games with them if you are not careful.
