It is amusing and ironical that a proverb said so long ago is immensely significant today as well. The origin to the proverb “Home is where the heart is” is given by Roman naval commander and naturalist, Pliny the Elder. He was formerly known as Gaius Plinius Secundus.
Naval must have had a keen idea that what and where the home is. Undoubtedly the concept lies in returning to the place where you belonged or have spent the most cherished time of your life.
This is a very profound statement and it shows that home is not made of physical things such as walls or furniture but rather a place that you are emotionally connected with. Four walls and interiors are a feature that is found everywhere and a short stay is enough to get you accustomed to the place but you can’t call it home. The larger truth is that it's not the physical things but the people that you love who turn a house into a home. The warmth that you get when you enter your home and the familiar faces that bring you a sense of comfort is what home really is. So the place and the people who have your heart is where your home really is. It is a feeling that cannot be replaced by anything else in the world.
