Making Sense-"keeping close to home"

The base which every person calls home is important. It is the foundation for our life. However, it is only the foundation and the first few blocks on top of it. Each person decides how to build the rest of their personal "home". It is not fair to blame the environment, race, financial status, or any other situations on how the final product looks like.

Each person builds their own home by leaving their original home. This doesn't require going from one coast of the country to the other. It does require becoming independent and becoming capable of forming personal beliefs. Conforming to the beliefs of those around the environment doesn't build the character which is desired by many. This doesn't mean that it is wrong to interact with people of all types of backgrounds based on race, religion, or social status.
