Exiles
I can't say I really feel at home anywhere. I was born in a city, but I hate cities_ I love mountains, but I have A22 never lived in a mountain country: my home is a flat agricultural area in the south of England which I find boring. I don't have much in A23 common with the local people there, and my way of life is very A24 different from theirs, so I don't feel that I am really part of the community. Although I am English, in some ways I don't feel English. I have spent time in various countries., and I can happily live abroad for a period. Not for ever, though. In the end I always begin to feel too foreign, and miss too many things. It is then that I realize that my A25 roots really are in England, even if I can't say exactly where. I don't have very A26 strong family ties, and I am not in contact with many of my relatives. My Canadian wife has a much stronger sense of family, which she has passed to our son. His home and his immediate family mean a great deal to him, and his extended family is very important to him as well, He is very fond of all his A27 relations, and likes to see them as often as he can.So perhaps the next generation will have more ties than I have. In some ways I hope so, but being rootless has advantage too. On balance, I am not sure that I would prefer to A28 belong to one place, one community and one set of ideas.
