The True Meaning Of Home

Many things make a house the walls, floors, windows and doors even the little nails that hold it together. Those things make up a house, a place where you can sleep & take shelter in. Some people think of home as a place where children happily live their lives while others might think of home as a place where children & parents can't get what they need, some people even define their home as a hole in the ground. I will be explaining what some people think of “home”. Modern people: We think of home as a beautiful place were we spend time with family,get special food we can make and serve and some people don't have what we have. Have your parents ever told you “finish your plate some people would kill to have a little speck of that food”. Then we would think they would wouldn't they… Homeless people: We might not have a home, family to live with or food, but we're still strong we can find stuff around and build shelter! Even though half a million of us are homeless and 13,000 of us die a year. One day we’ll pick ourselves up, get good paying jobs and get victory! Sub-saharan Africans: we might be poor but we have access to some modern things we know how to build tiny homes… but we need some help sometimes because we don't have access to human needs like nutrition, clean water and great food. 47% of us are living on 1.90$ or less a day 15,000 of our children were losing, please spare us. Home has always been a central reality experience, we consider the questions it asks and the answers. But at the end of the day, we all return to some kind of home.
