What does the phrase "home is where the heart is" mean?

Question

I've heard that phrase many times, but i never really knew exactly what it meant. I am doing a project and i think that this phrase will work well in it. Thanks!!

Answer 1

This means that though you may travel and live many different places, the place you can always go to or define as "home" is the place where your loved ones are and where you are loved.

Answer 2

On the contrary! To die is a biological process. The cessation of existence is a metaphorical extension of the concept. That metaphor also implies a non-biological aspect of existence--a soul or spirit, if you will--because in most cases of death, there is definitely a continuation of existence, often as the sort of gruesome remains that keep the special-effects crews busy on "CSI" and "Bones." As to the metaphorical sense, we have no basis at all for assuming that passing out of our range of interaction actually means passing out of existence. You simply assume it, just as others assume an afterlife. On a less philosophical and more practical level, Christians understand what dying is. We just assert that it is no more permanent a state than our present life, and that Jesus both experienced death and demonstrated its impermanence. You may disagree, but it is unbelievably silly to assume that we don't understand what we're saying. You're arguing from willful ignorance of our position, just like the creationists who so frequently claim that the theory of evolution misunderstands the nature of life.
