"Todos estamos solo tratando de llegar a casa."
— Ram Dass
Simplified Meaning:
Everyone in life is on a journey trying to find peace, comfort, and a sense of belonging. Imagine a student studying abroad; they work hard, make friends, and gain experiences, but in every moment of hardship or loneliness, they look forward to returning to their family and childhood home. This feeling of wanting to return to a place where we feel safe and loved is something every person understands. In a bigger sense, "home" is not just a physical place but also a state of mind where we feel at ease. For example, a worker might strive throughout their career to earn enough to provide a stable and happy life for their family, each effort aimed at creating their version of "home." Realizing this can help us empathize with others, as everyone is seeking their own form of comfort and happiness, just like us.
