Home


Is home the house with the furniture in it or is it a much more complicated concept that relies on our relationships and makes us wear a mask in our everyday life?
How does the meaning of home influence us?
For some, home may only be a state of mind and to others it represents a link, a connection to the real world and to their families.
If we consider home a place where we can find comfort and safety, home could be anything. It could be an earthly object or a thing that we cannot see or touch. It simply exists even if it is only a dream.
Sometimes our house, the place where we spend most of the time with our family, may not be the ideal home. This occurs because it depends on the relationship we establish with our relatives. It may be a good relationship but the need to escape from the world can make us look for something that takes the place of a home. We can be anywhere: in a park, on the beach or in other country and be able to be at home. Alienated from the miseries and sadness of the real world.
Where is home?
When will we find it?
Home is our idealistic way of building a world of our own according to what identifies us without forgetting our likes and dislikes. It is the image of ourselves. In spite of this, I cannot finish without this question: Can anyone say for certain what home is?
