The Meanings of Home

Personally, I strongly feel that everyone should have a home because people should be able to do the things they love, everyone should be able to feel safe, and they should be able to have good shelter. No matter if they’ve done good, or bad things they should have something or somewhere they feel most comfortable, and what they enjoy doing. People who do not have homes or the right to have things like these are judged a lot and they have very poor health or mental health because of this. First, everyone should have a home because everyone deserves to have the opportunity to do the things they love daily. No matter if they’re a good person, or if they’re not much of a good person overall I think they should be able to do things they love. And a home is doing the things you like doing and what you personally enjoy spending time doing. Personally, I enjoy doing things like painting, drawing; reading, watching TV, and other things. My favorite thing to do is listen to music. Usually when I listen to music, I feel better Second, everyone has to feel safe at all times. Safety is very important, if people aren’t safe, things like injuries and more can happen. You can even die if you aren’t safe at all costs. A home is somewhere you feel safe. For example, people feel safe with their family; in their homes, with their friends, and more. Like one time, I was having a bad day. But then when I got home my family cheered me up. Lastly, people should have shelter. Shelter is important as well because if It’s cold outside, especially in the winter people will need to have a roof above their head. Usually to avoid getting sick, shelter also has these important needs: Food, a bed, a washroom, and somewhere they can feel warm and protected. There are many reasons why shelter is important for everyone. Like at their house, or at someone else’s house. Personally, being under a roof makes me feel safe. One day, I was feeling really sick when I was in the cold outside, but then when I went inside, I felt much better and more secure. There are many people who are homeless/houseless and do not have the ability to eat, sleep, and drink inside of a warm There are still many other reasons why homes are very important for people around the world and I think everybody deserves a home. My opinion is important because it persuades people that anyone can do what they enjoy and feel safe at all times, no matter they’re personality.
