Today's banner headline is all about Home. No, we have nothing to do with a certain Depot. Yes, we certainly have everything to do with Jia. In Chinese, Jia stands for the Hearth and Heart. Jia also refers to a School of Thought. Here let the hearth and heart be in the right place. Let a hundred schools of thought debate on everything under the sun.
And let a house be a home. A house divided cannot stand. A home, being indivisible, can always stand. It stands up for freedom and dignity. No wonder in the movie Nomadland, the free and dignified protagonist only conceded that she was houseless. She was homeward-bound if not already at home.
It's time for the world to be a home. For too long the world has been a stage, no offense to the Bard of Avon.
