To live in a place where it is comfortable and homely, is to share the same values with the place. A place we live can be stressful or the contrary depending on the congruence of our ideals and values with that of the place. This is why some people may find his 'home' land in a far away place thousands of miles away. Some people, say, terrorists in Hamburg may find Afghanistan much closer to their hearts than where they are residing. An ardent believer of pacifist resistance may regard parts of spiritual India as an ultimate abode. Some people who believe in the importance of human development may desire to escape the grip of extremism in their homeland and as such, has no attachment whatsoever with it apart from his physical presence in it.
He believes he belongs to a community which rarely exists, if not at all, in his residence and that it transcends physical boundaries.
If the land of make believe
Is inside your heart it will never leave
There's a golden gate where the fairies all wait
And dancing moons, for you
Close your eyes and you'll be there
Where the mermaids sing as they comb their hair
Like a fountain of gold you can never grow old
Where dreams are made, your love parade.
