It is this idea of home that interests me today. I suspect it is as close to universal as anything can safely be said to be. Certainly, it can be powerful. A closer look at it may well be quite interesting. I am inclined to think that the idea of home carries with it something unchanging.
Home is where the heart was.
And that is something almost incapable of being altered, in contrast to the reality of wherever you come from, which, being reality is always changing. My guess is, not much. It is certainly a powerful and very real psychological fact, but that does not imply a necessary connection with reality. I am willing to bet they do, even though they don t have a home in the sense that you do. After all, a longing, a tug for a place in geography or time is quite important to the self-image of people.
