It is a line about a character who died from an accident in my
favorite TV show Sex and the City.
That was also my feeling when I heard unimaginable news on the
sudden death of my old friend.
Whenever one is forced to say goodbye to somebody close to her/him
at some point of life, a sense of regret appears inevitable. “I wish I
were mature and more considerate at that time” or “Why did I say that?” or “I
should have done this and that…” The list goes on and on.
Having said that, at least in the current technology, everyone’s
life as we see it in this world is limited. That means one is not be able to stay
in touch with another forever. “The end of an era” comes inevitably sooner or later, no matter how hard one strives to prevent it.
Everybody is changing, and every situation is evolving. At the end of the day (year, or decade), things could
change dramatically. For example, if one works very hard and gets rich(er) and that allows her
to spend a comfortable life, that's wonderful. But it could also create a gap with people around her who have other priorities and resultant different
values and lifestyle. That happens among friends or even family members.
In that sense, farewell occurs every now and then. There is no need to regret
that.
In conclusion I decided to enjoy my current companies I'm privileged to have to the fullest.
