- H.O.M.E
- What is considered “home”? Perhaps the word has taken a too confusing translation.
- If I assume stereotypes for the sake of explaining the idea that runs through my thought process, I will use the example of thinking home as a physical building constructed to withstand weather. This may seem obvious but I must point out, it is not far-fetched for individuals to label home as ANY building as long as it with perhaps family / friends.
- “Home Sweet Home” can be any familiar place, safe to say. Although we find an easy exception instantly. When a family moves physical buildings to habit for a different time period, we see the phrase “This is your new home”.
- This situation leaves me to view home as a material item (building) purchased and transferred from different individuals. If you own a building in Miami but also Hong Kong, then you might have 2 homes. But which is correct? How does the word refer to an area? Is it merely a word used to describe the purchased building or the physical land mass area?
- This may bring up the explanation of home referring to the birthplace of that specific individual. This explanation is faulty however because if that were the case, origins could always be traced back earlier & earlier, in different area. What I mean by this, is everyone's perception of birthplace would be different, such as conceived, exiting the womb, etc. Does this mean that the hospital is the home for the baby, or the town which the hospital belongs to. The physical building habited at that current time of birth, but what if that building changes ownership, in twenty years, you would hardly feel familiar with that structure to be able to call it home.
- Also, another understanding we can realize is that countries / towns are only man made borders with names that also man made. So referring to a town or country could be in constant different perspectives as over-time these barriers change names and shapes.
- Realizing this leaves us with the simple explanation that home is everywhere, Here On Mother Earth. We are all just the children born to the natural life of our sun, and our planet Earth. She provides the oxygen, the food and shelter for us to begin and sustain our lives.
- This is what I believe the most confusing part of “home” is. A building is something simply humans give birth to, just as mother Earth gives birth to us.
- If you do not view every object / thing in this world as alive this may seem like a strange concept at first. The easiest way of explaining I can do is to compare birth with the word creation. Just because animals do not speak does not mean they do not give birth to their young. Any building or object is created or birthed by the individual who had the idea / actions that led to this creation.
- The birth to birth chain continues forever. It may be a common way of thinking to see giving birth as only moving objects creating other “creatures” that have a brain. But honestly this is easily countered with the wide range of animals such as bacteria to mammals. We can't say the object at birth must have a brain, feet, etc because well, every animal is slightly different. Now we should be able to easily see the correlation between birth / creation / life.
- This leads to the conclusion that birth is not any specific object but is merely the creation of ANY object. Any object has the potential to give birth at any time. However, we can not look at the physical realm as the limitation for this birth and creation. Any thought that comes through our head is just as much of a creation as physically creating an object.
- A poster on a wall may spawn thoughts or ideas in an individual but also has the potential to instill fear or curiosity in an animal. A Bob Marley picture might make one person think of reggae type music, another of peace / equality, but an animal might see this as a threat and avoid or attack it if it looks real enough.
- A blanket which provided heat birthed the comfortability sense in an individual which possibly birthed other thoughts / ideas that would not have taken place if the same individual was only thinking about the aspect of being cold or how to combat the sense of dissatisfaction.
- Now we can look at our physical building “home” once again. A common occurrence in physical building is decorating. A person may create or buy other objects to create change or entertainment that usually correlates with that individuals interests or hobbies. A teenager may have a room completely covered in posters of girls, snowboarding or bands / music the the kid enjoys. An adult's personal room may contain professional paintings, other artwork or family portraits that spawns happiness or joy in that particular person.
- Obviously thoughts being birthed by objects such as posters are not going to be subjective to any particular feeling / thoughts. One piece of artwork may spawn ideas of a past memory bringing a sense of love / excitement while the same piece might cause haunting memories of fear / anger due to past experiences with another individual.
- It also could just be something similar to a joyous future event. The future event could be birthed through the thought of the object which led to an idea in turn leading the individual to be inspired enough to take physical action to create a new object / concept / idea.
- Home, its the birthplace, the created, the thought led from other thoughts. As we age in this life we are constantly surrounded with objects birthed by other individuals. The only sense of control in this world is attempting to direct individuals towards a specific creation process. If we can realize home is not what has already been created in our reality, but the act of and basis of creating it.
