“Home is where the heart is” and “there’s no place like home,” are clever sayings that people state all of the time. But the question is what is home? Home to me is a place where you’re comfortable. Home is the place you go to after a long day of work and/or school and you instantly feel relaxed upon entering. Home is the place where you stay by yourself or with your family and you couldn’t picture yourself living anywhere else but there.
In the article they basically say that homeless people have a better understanding of home than a person who owns a house. I don’t totally agree with the statement at all but that’s what the article said. I don”t believe that a homeless person goes to a shelter or their box that they live in an say, “Home sweet home.” I don’t think that any homeless person would pick a box or shelter over a house but i do understand that after a while of living somewhere people get accustomed to their surroundings. People with houses are in a sense homeless too, that’s the point that the article was making. If you live in a house but you don’t like it or the neighborhood then you don’t have a home. If you dread going to your house everyday then you don’t have a home. If you just hate being there it’s not a home. A home is a place that’s filled with love and a house is just simply somewhere you have to live at so you won’t become homeless.
As of right now i live in a house, not really a home because building a home takes time and we move so much that once things start to feel homey we move so that i have to become comfortable in a new house. Getting that homey feeling takes time and work so I haven’t quite reached that with our new house. In my mind i picture home to be a place where you raise a perfect american family, mom, dad, 2.5 kids and the family dog. In conclusion homes are better than houses.
