Home
by A.A.Lotfy
Home for many resembles land, either the place they were born in or the place that represents who they have become. Some find their home in family, friends, or a group of people who share similar beliefs. When home is associated with a location or a person, one may run the risk of losing sense of its true meaning. Sometimes, it is an unspecified feeling we learn to bury and forget about over time. However, this feeling never truly fades away, since there is a subconscious need for affiliation, a pervasive sense of longing, and the periodic surfacing of nostalgic memories. Home represents our deepest yearning for connection; our task is to pinpoint precisely what it is we need to establish a connection with as we mentally explore the past, present, and future.
This book is divided into entries describing struggles of the self, the nature and origins of fear, and the never-ending inner battle between the heart and the mind. When the heart overcomes fears created by the mind, it leads us in the direction of passion, meaningful connections, and love. Everyone wants to love and be loved; it is at the core of every purpose, whether we are aware of it or not. Without love, we exist, but we do not live. The common purpose is, therefore, to live in love, and only then will we find our home.
