The Resurrection

[Paleophyte]

Try this instead. Name for me three things that are simultaneously abstract and concrete.

House and home, dad and father, job and career

Nice try, but note how you needed two different words for each? You can do it with just one, but that's merely an example of language being bendy.

Home may describe either a physical building or the feelings that we attach to that location. It can be both in linguistic terms because typically you need the one to have the other. Dig a bit deeper and you find out which of those you can sell as realty.

Father may describe either a person or the relationships. Again, it isn't always the same individual. I've known a couple of people who preferred "sperm donor" for the biological entity and "father" for somebody with no genetic relationship. It's pretty clear that the word can be used to describe one or both.

Try again though. We're looking for something that is simultaneously both concrete and abstract without switching definitions.
