Every living being gives free rein to its constructive instincts according to its nature. Humans, as terrestrial mammals, are no exception: in order to feel truly self-realized, they need to build themselves a home, be it a thatched hut, a luxurious mansion or an 80-story skyscraper. But how many, nowadays, can afford to do that? Alas, very few.
