The Great difference of a House and a Home

A lot of people think that a house is the same thing as a home, but they’re wrong. A house is just a building with a roof and walls. It is a place where a lot of people can live together. But a home could be anywhere! It also doesn’t need to be a house. You also rule over that place. You don’t need permission to invite your friends and your family and you know it very well. Houses back then were not as private as of now. Usually for some people, they lived in a house with two to four families! When they needed to use the washroom, they needed to be very, very secret, or else… I don’t want to talk about it. But homes back then were practically everywhere! If you didn’t have a religion, you lived by yourself, wherever you wanted! It could be a cave, a tree, anywhere! You could live free with Mother Nature. And this is what my paragraph is all about, a Home is NOT a House.
