Old Home 老家

When the people are young and mobile, they may think of having their dream house one day. It could be a sizeable house or a house located at a countryside. They may work hard and save enough money to fulfil the dream. One day, the dream comes true and the house is purchased.

Nevertheless, when they have moved into their dream house, there may not be as excited as they expected. Worse still, there may be a sense of loss and a feeling of inconvenience. In fact, the idea of dream house and its location might have been incubated ten years or even longer time ago. The physical condition of the dreamers was conducive to stay in the dream house then. But when the dreamers are ageing, it is no longer to be convenient staying in a sizeable and a house far from the city.

Perhaps, when people get older, what they need is minimal stress from transition. Relocating themselves can be stressful. And also their original home with the familiar neighbourhood and township is still their best environment. This also means that they can maintain their similar lifestyle as much as possible.

As a matter of fact, many people find that there is no better home on earth than their own old home. Should they desire a better home, they would have to look beyond their dream home for a heavenly home.

当人还年轻和能够自由跑动时，他们可能期望有一天会拥有自己梦想中的房子。这可能是一栋相当大的房子並处于半郊区地方。所以他们努力工作以储备足够的钱来实现梦想。有一天，梦想成真，终于拥有了期待的房子。

然而，当他们搬进了梦想中的房子时，他们並没有獲得预期的激动；更糟糕的是，他们会面对失落感和感觉不方便。事实上，梦想之家及其所在地的想法可能始自十多年前。当时，梦想者的身体状况的确似合住在梦想之家。但是随着时间，身体及各方面的條件已经不再方便住在远离城市的大房子里。

或许，当人漸慚老的时时候，所需要的是尽量减少因进入人生不同階段所面对的压力。而搬迁到另一个地方一般上都会造成压力。因此，他们熟悉的社区和原来的住宅可能还是他们最好的环境；这也意味着他们可以尽量持续他们原有的生活方式。

事实上，不少人会意识到地球上並没有较比自己老家更好的家園。如果他们想要一个更好的家，他们需要拥有超越地上梦想之家的眼光，而期待一个在天上更美的家。
