It is a bit late. Now is the time to go home. It’s late indeed, but often something keeps us from going home faster. Like this time, there’s still a lot to do but I choose to go home.
You know that we have to go home. I’ve ever talked about going home, but in fact, not everyone goes home. Like some of my friends in the building.
Like for some people, they can’t go home, or don’t want to go home, or are afraid to go home or hesitate to go home or forget to go home, or else, back to where they had gone before.
There are many reasons for us to go home, but there are also many reasons for people can’t go home yet, or can not to go home, don’t want to go home, lazy to go home, afraid to go home, etc. There are so many happy, sad, moving, or even terrible stories about go home. There are stories of refugees who cannot go home, there are stories of cheating husbands who are lazy to go home, there are stories of wife or children who do not dare to go home, and many other stories. You and I must have ever heard about it.
Hopefully all of us here, always have the desire, longing, time, opportunity, and place to go home. And also has a beautiful atmosphere and moments about going home, after every departure, after all our longing. We should be grateful for such because not everyone has it.

Wherever I go, I’m always happy to come home. My house, my freedom
We need to be grateful for that, right?
There have been times in my life when I did not want to go home… without my son being there. It was too hard going to an empty house… no longer a home. But things have improved since then, pretty much.
It was a personal experience of a great victory that I greatly appreciated, Carol. I learned a lot from your experience.
How real a “story” …. I know many such cases
That reality is around us indeed. Thanks for your thought, Vidocka
I am a friend of many can be reasons why we do not want home-for example, a liquid woman haha
Right, Lado. there are many reasons why men don’t want to go home, either for outside of themselves reasons or because of themselves.
I totally agree with you….
Thanks for your thought and that you agree with me…
There are two things I always say “there is no place like home.” The other is “you can never go home.” They work very well in creating the tug of war that is our journey home.
Di antara kedua ujung itu, ada berbagai alasan dan paradox
Upz… I mean; Between the two ends, there are various reasons and paradoxes
I once had the pleasure of attending a lecture from a visiting professor of philosophy. He began the lecture and ended the lecture with a question that fits so well with this conversation. “First, ” he said, “we must define here.” He paused for a moment and then said, “then we have to ask are we really here?” The audience laughed, but I think about that question to this day.
It’s an interesting compound question with the possibility of multiple interpretations. What do you think of that question, Doc?
I think here, fits with your tone post of a few days ago Albert. Here is the sound of quiet, here is the sound of family. Here is the moment we realize we are where we want to be.
There are two big interpretations there for me; here is our home because wherever we are, some of our thoughts remain at home. This may be the same as what you mean.
The second is, wherever we are, everything is just an illusion. The closest example of this phenomenon is “the Matrix”.
Nice – that is a thought I shall ponder!
