First, there is a difference between a house and a home. A house carries the meaning of a building where people live. But a home conveys a meaning of warmth and comfort. People think of their home as not just a place to keep their belongings (like their clothes or their books or their TV), but as a place where they feel safe and secure. They use their home to relax, to spend time with friends, to sleep, to eat, to enjoy peace and quiet. The importance of a comfortable and secure home is that it gives a person a kind of refuge-- the workday may be busy and hectic and noisy and filled with pressure, but when you go home, you can be casual and make your own decisions about how to spend your time.

That is why people want a home in a safe neighborhood (so that thieves will not take their belongings) and why they want a home that gives them a feeling of relaxation. Of course, not everyone has such a home. Some people are poor and cannot afford a home; some live in cramped or noisy or unsafe circumstances. But just about everyone dreams of having a place they can call their own, a place that feels more like a home than just a house.
