House and Home

Sir 1b got us thinking...what's the difference between a house and a home? Aren't they the same?

Not quite.

House.
A house is a building built for residential purposes. It is simply a work of construction with no emotional attachment. Its purpose to humans is to provide shelter from the harm outside.

Home.
A home is a little more personal. It has a deeper meaning. A home is etched with emotions and memories. It is not simply a building for one to seek shelter from the outside. It is a sanctuary. A home is different to each individual. For instance, I may stay in Penang now but my home is and will always be PJ, Selangor where i have gathered many memories and my loved ones await me :)
