Home life, as we understand it is no more natural to us than

Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of a traditional home life is not inherently innate or natural to human beings. It highlights the idea that our societal construct of home and familial relationships is comparable to placing a cockatoo in a cage - it restricts and confines our natural instincts or desires. It implies that the cultural expectations and norms surrounding home life might limit our true potential and individual freedom, implying that other ways of living and forming connections may be equally valid and natural.

We all lose friends.. we lose them in death, to distance and over time. But even though they may be lost, hope is not. The key is to keep them in your heart, and when the time is right, you can pick up the friendship right where you left off. Even the lost find their way home when you leave the light on.
