The Circle of Personhood and Home
Inextricably bound together in human life, from childhood to old age, are personhood and home.
A healthy and happy person has a healthy and happy home.
Transformationism is child-centred. Every child of our species should have a safe and secure home sufficient for them to receive nourishment of the body, heart and mind.
Personhood is about being safe and secure in being and becoming who you are. To feel secure one needs a safe and secure home. To be oneself entails the freedom to craft a home and a living space that is your own.
For too long now, we have tolerated cheap, dreadful “homes” just to line the pockets of exploitative capitalists, while they line their communities with gated mansions. Under Transformationism, exploitation for profit will be eliminated from housing. No landlords, no mortgages, no debts, no profits, just homes.
Homefulness is a new word. It says that we have a home when the home is ours to enjoy as we please without threat of destitution or harm from others, including our own family, community members, capitalist predators or socialist dictators. A homeful home fulfills us and our families. It shelters us from heat and cold. Anything short of that is not considered a home in the Transformationist paradigm. This more honest definition of home immediately reveals the widespread actual homelessness across humanity.
Let’s create a world of high quality, comfortable and safe homes for everyone. Let’s respect and celebrate cultural diversities of homefulness. Let’s fill our communities with beautiful homes that meet everyone’s and every family’s needs and desires – as they themselves imagine and understand them.
