The ruin of a nation begins in the home of its people.

- Ashanti proverb

 

If you have an argument at home, chances are you will have one at work.  If you feel unsupported at home, your friends are likely to abandon you.  If you are uncooperative, unreliable and disrespectful at home, you carry that same energy everywhere you go.  Home is the foundation of everything we see and do in the world and relationships.  For many peoples*, culture mandates that one make home the primary concern of the heart.  The heart creates love, support, cooperation, nurturing and peace.  Home is our first school.  Let us put our hearts, minds, bodies and souls back into the home as the first step toward eliminating the violence on the streets.

 --  Iyanla Vanzant  (*paraphrased)

My home is my salvation.
