Go Home

People had always wanted to go back like old times. We have been dreaming to go back to their childhood, and they can meet their families and their friends. Some people can only feel really relax and conformable back in home, they need to go back and feel reborn after getting back to home. There are people that often thought of the happy memories that they've been through. These people all want to go back, but "Is it really possible to go back?" Yes!!! Of course you can, and you are not only can go back, you will go back home.People will leave their homeland for all kinds of reasons, some of them move out on their own decision, some of them were forced out because of war or natural disaster. No matter why or where people moved, they always want to get back. Sometimes we can give out anything to go back home. The Jewish people had leaved their home because of war for thousands of years ago, since then they start to travel all around the world, they want to get back. Finally they did get back, and they set up Israel as their country in their homeland. During this whole event, these Jewish people had sacrifice so much that you can't even imagine. How do they keep up the strength to set up their dream without giving up? The dream of being back to home and to feel to have a real place to belong, it is a feeling which is not replaceable, every day I feel lucky for myself because I have a place to go back, every day I will think of my house which is the most comfortable place I can be in. The Jewish people transfer this thought and make it into real. The back support is the feeling of having a real home they use to have. The Jewish people did get home, although it takes unimaginable time to go back, but they did it.The story of Odysseus, the story is about the adventure to go back home. Odysseus made through impossible missions to get back to home, he can give up easily, he don't need to waste his strength and the men following him, but he did it, and he return home gloriously. The mind of getting back to home had made him do that, the memory of his homeland is unforgettable, these powers let him fight through the challenge he face. Our home supports us, it keep us standing during the hard hit. And this had make people want to go back to home and willing to protect it.It people will make their way back home.Every year I went back to where my father grew up, in the eastern coast of Taiwan. This is the real nature of Taiwan, the fresh air from the woods, the wide ocean of the dolphins, and the great forest on the mountains. A place people can set his mind free and let himself into arms of the nature. When my father was not even born, the Chinese government came, and they dont know the real value of the nature, they just want to use the resources from the nature for their own good. They are willing to provide what they called a better living environment in the city. They force the people out of this beautiful home and try to destroy it. No one would leave their home and watch the others to destroy it, especially such a beautiful one, our family along the village start to protest against the government. It was a long battle between them, for years the protesting against the government is going on, people needs to let the governors know how the environment means to us, the people have been living in this place for generations, let them know the felling of leaving their homeland and even let it been destroyed, it cant be replace by anything, the love they give to their homeland is too much that you cant use words to describe it, and the nature it is not only home for the humans, a whole system of life needs the support of the forest. After the negotiation with the government, they finally decided to stop what they called the developing, our home was saved and it is because we want to protect it, it gives us the power and the reason to fight for it, we love it and we care about it, we wont leave it or give it up easily. If we want to, we can go home, the real home is not important, but the feeling your home gives to you is what matters.Now, close your eyes, and try to image your home, think about those happy memories you had. The old places, people or things, the love you gave to it and the love it gave to you is a wonderful thing. We should all feel fortune for having a nice home. Do you think about that now? How long havent you been to your home again? And do you want to go back again? Think about all the meaning of home and from this moment you will no longer treat it only as a place, you will find that you have a great treasure!!!
