Home

Our home is typically the location within space in which we live, however it has the potential to mean quite a bit more. You can be without a house and still have a home. They aren't just shelters form weather, and places for our possessions. They are the place in which we as people feel safe. They are where we feel it would be alright to lay our heads down and sleep. There are people who are unfortunately without homes. These people are there, in most cases, through no fault of their own. Imagine this scenario. You have fallen on hard times. There is no money left in whatever savings you might have had, and you have lost all of your family members either to death, or to abandonment. You are let go from work, not through not working hard enough or insulting one person or another, but simply because the company itself is failing. You are left to your one room apartment, all you had left to afford. You try to apply for jobs but you had to give up your car to have a place to sleep at night, and you can only get to interviews by getting up exceptionally early in the morning, and walking to them. You have no spare money for public transport. Your interviews go poorly due to your tiredness. Suddenly, your rent arrives and the last of your money was spent on ramen noodles. You find yourself on the street. After a few weeks of living in boxes, you are very dirty. Your clothes are torn. Those who might have otherwise helped you are afraid that you are diseased, or addicted to drugs. You are left alone, and starving as the rain forms mildew and mold on your clothes. Not everyone has a house. Not everyone has a home. It is important that we help people, especially those who have fallen onto some hard times from which they might never be able to escape. But for now, here is something to consider.

Our brains take time to process the information that we receive, meaning that at any moment, we are seeing things as they happened ever so slightly in the past.
