I never come back home with the same moral character I went

Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker's experiences outside of their home have a significant impact on their moral character. They claim that whenever they return home, some aspect of their character becomes unsettled or disrupted. Despite the internal peace they may have achieved during their absence, certain personal challenges or issues that they thought they had overcome resurface at home. This implies that external interactions and encounters can have a transformative effect on an individual's morality, causing a constant evolution of their character.
