HOME AND HOUSE

If you have a house, you have a home, that’s what people think. But this is a false statement. A house is nothing but a material thing, something that can protect us from the scorching sun or a terrible storm. People believe that the bigger their house is, the wealthier they are and the happier the home is. A home is totally different. A home is where your true happiness lies, a sacred sanctuary where your role joy resides. The comfort and happiness doesn’t mean that you have a big house, the happiness lies in the family that lives in the house. If you are happy, you are home. Maybe that is the reason why they say “Home is where the heart is”. Have you ever heard of the statement, “The House is where heart is”? It sounds strange, don’t you think? There is a great difference between home and house though you might find them related and interwoven. A house can make you comfortable with the things inside it, while a house not only makes you comfortable, it is a place one looks forward to opportunely live in everyday. A house is built by bricks, wood or any other building material while a home is built with the bond of family. A house is a place, a home is more than a place-it is a feeling. A house is where you sleep at night; a home gives you more than sleep at night. A house cannot heal you, a home gives you all the healing you need when hurt or down. A house does not get at your heart; a home gets connected with your heart. Akinleye Grace Oluwabusola
