What is a Home

A home can be a word that gets tossed around a lot, but what does a home even mean? Well first we should answer another question first, what is the difference between a home and a house? People usually regard a house the same as a home but that is not always the case. A house is a very important human necessity but lots of people don’t regard it as their home, but why is that? Well it’s because a home is a place where you feel has sentimental value, a place where you’ve had good memories, a place where you feel good and happy, a place where you feel like you belong or you connect to. Now as a house it’s a building that people (or a person or an animal) live in. But the sad thing is that not many people have a house. Lots of people have a place where they consider a home but they don’t have a house because it’s not accessible. To put it into perspective how many people don’t have houses in the world there are 1.6 billion people who don’t have a house or people who don’t have good housing, that’s nearly one quarter of the world. But now going back to the first question, what is a home? A home is a place where we feel has sentimental value. A house can always be a home but a home doesn’t have to be a house.
