Everybody knows the English proverb "An Englishman`s home is his castle". Not only Englishmen think so, but that’s also why this phrase has an analogy in other languages. But what does it mean? What makes you feel that your home is a castle? What is the exact meaning of "My home is my castle"?
Many people think that home is not only some bricks, mortar and walls. Probably, this is true, although there is a big difference between such words as “home” and “house”. House is just a place to live, this is a building, but a home is a sacred place where you could be a king/queen, where your word is a rule. This is your domain, where you could do everything you want and you also have the possibility and responsibility to defend it and protect anyone and anything there. This is a place, where your heart is.
We think about “home” in terms of where we lived when we were younger, where are relatives, family. This is the place that brings back all old memories, dreams and beliefs.
A home could tell us what culture people belong to, because one usually keeps to one's native traditions, although it could be subconsciously. We decorate our home, invite friends, and stay there when we don’t want to see anybody. Your home is the place where you could hide from bad weather, bad news, problems and unpleasant situations. You can put off all your emotions and masks that you wear in the morning when you stepped out of the door. It is the place you can go to after a very hard workday and could relax, you don’t have to worry about being so hurt, criticized or laughed at.
People say that even the home walls are your friends, your comfort and your helping hands or as it is said at home even the walls help. It makes it look like a castle or even a fortress, where walls could save a life. Perhaps, that’s why we call home our castle.
