It isn't about the house. It's more about something you've "built". Your family, career or simply your life. It's all part of you and defines who you are. There's no plan to throw it all away because of things you can't influence. Kind of the world is burning but you're still who you are and you don't want to change.
Well, I hope I chose the right words to explain my thoughts about it.
