While being in Miami tonight, there were - and still are - many homeless that walk, eat, sleep, and live within the streets. Not the type of go run around from person to person selling drugs. But watching people walk by holding out an empty cup asking for change.
Anyways, My mother and I saw some guy peeing onto a building, and of course as the teenager I am, I bust out laughing. She tells me, "Well technically we are in his house." Could this be true?
According to Merriam-Webster home is one's place of residence, and a house is a building that serves as a living quarters for one or a few families. So really we all intrude in some hobo's home, but not his or her house. Similarly we shar
e the same home with a hobo, even if they don't have a problem peeing on the side of a building. Or perhaps, the guy was marking his territory like a dog would, but that's improbable.
Another thought: If home is where the heart is, and your heart is in the streets, does that make you homeless?
