Please help me to correct this. Thank you _______________________ Home, for someone, is simple as a house, for someone else, is more than a house, and some time it is not a house. Each life has a different thinking a bout definition of “Home”.
Home is a place where one lives or a residence (dictionary of the English language, 2009). According to this definition, people may have two or more homes. When you go to work, spending eight hours in the office, may be more twelve hours in there, your office becomes a second home. You work there, you relax there, you have dinner, you chat to your friend at your desk in your office. Sometime, for some people, they even sleep there because of security situation. In the fact that home sometimes just a place where you are comfortable and pleasure (Collins English dictionary, 2003). For example, wandering children have no house to comeback, but they do have home. Their home may be under the bridges, on the boats along the channels, or in slums nearly a dump field. That are not a house, just a place that they feel comfortable to sleep, to retire after a hard working day and to sleep.
For some people, home is a thing that you cannot replace and you always look forward. Home is a family. There are your parents, brothers, sisters, relatives, dogs, fishes… every thing that you feel so familiar with. Especially, they will be the first person whom you want to share your feeling, your emotion about you job, life or you are the first person that they choose to share these things. Home will help you to get back the balance in your life between love and money. In there, every one will be available beside you to protect, to support and go with you to get over difficulties.
Home is either the beginning of the love, new lives, or the root of the evils. Haggard, composer, said that “home is where the kid grows up” in the song with the same name. Imaginarily, a child was born in a good family with full love from his parents and brothers, sisters. He will become a good man with characteristics of kind and tolerance. He will get married with a beautiful girl and have a good children, a new life, in full of love liked his parents. What if his parents are not a good guys, they are drunk, they fall in gamble and don’t care to his son. The son grows up and begins his life as their parents. He becomes social burden and may be a evil with the end in jail.
The definition of home is not the same when people think about it. But absolutely, every one does have a home. They will live with it or find the other one, it depends on how they define what the home is.
