A Good Bye, and A New Beginning

I am now on a vacation in Ubon, taking a short break to visit my gradmom. Well, it's not a full break though, there are some works I have to do. Anyway, I want a short time for pondering. It's a Saturday 4th Aug evening, and I am sitting at the airport. Talking about the airport, it is a place where lot of my memories occured: both sadness and happiness from farland friends, family and ex-lover. It is a symbol of a good bye, and a new beginning. The tear I lost here is uncountable, so does the smile. I like to find a good place to sit at the airport, a place where there is less crowd, and has a great scene of the airport runway that I can see the planes take off and land. When I am at sitting at the airport, I feel calm, and it is a good time to find resolutions for some mental issues. Similar to the Ark, the plane carries new hopes and dreams from one place to another for the sake of their owners to accomplish them. However, it often leaves on land where it departs a sandness and loneliness. I think our lifes are not different: we have to say good bye for a new beginning. A good bye is not always bad. People always try to avoid it, including me, because we fear of losing, and we do not want to be lonely. On the other side, however, it opens new opportunities for the departurer, and creates a new bond between people. A bond that can make people grow up. If we could see that a good bye would provide more good effects, we should not be hesitate to do. Like a plane, the traveller will come back one day. A good bye also means a hello that will be heard soon. If people could endure the hard period where the time their beloved people left, If we could live with hope and endurance, the good things should be awaiting for us in the coming future.
