I build up castles.
I tear down mountains.
I make some men blind,
I help others to see.

What am I?
Childhood.
Many are Perplexed While Seeking Me

You. Hundreds of books have been written about people searching for themselves. Some methods are quite dangerous. Still others give up. But if you figure out who you are, you will be satisfied.
Lastly, the word you is in the phrase everY hOUse.
Four Against the Masses

Four orphaned siblings. It seems like there may be a better answer than this. If you have one, please add a comment.
