What Home Truly Is

What Home Truly Is By: Raphael Susatyo Everyone says a home is a place I live in; anywhere can be my home. However, a home can be so much more than a building made of blocks and walls. A home is the people, not the place the only place I see as a home is the crowded cheers of family and friends; that’s what I see today. The living room is full of cheers; the people are blithely partying, with songs and music in the air. The family room is full of suspenseful murmurs as the guests enjoy the movie. The kitchen is full of aromas of my Dad’s cooking, the taste that I enjoy In many lives, some people may not have a home where they experience kindness and shelter. If we look at them and walk along, the voice youre making will mentally upset them, and they think that you just don’t care. Instead, we can do many things: offer them help, give money, and donate items. Maybe we can’t provide them with a house, but we can give them a home of kindness and giving. But word by word, we can give a home.
