good-bye:

Saying good-bye to one’s job is a trivial thing, though there are exceptions of course. If you are mature and i.e. professionally experienced enough, you must have changed many jobs till you found something that more or less suited you.

There are people who even say good-bye to happiness. Of course, if any person was asked a question: ‘Would you ever refuse from happiness if it suddenly arrived and knocked on your door?’, the answer would invariably be ‘NEVER’. So does it mean that people have reasons to say good-bye to their happiness? So much for the power of good bye, or maybe it’s another hardship, a trick, a choice making which will make us stronger in time?

info:

Saying good-bye is a piece of cake when you leave something that is transient in your life. However, saying good-bye is always difficult when you (have to) just drop something you got used to, something you love being occupied with or something that gives you positive emotions.

We say good-bye to so many things and people, that we don’t realize the strength of this farewell ‘magic’ word and the power it often possesses over us.

Good-Bye and Its 'Special Places'

It's essential to note that the concept of 'good-bye' is so powerful that it even has its own 'special places' for the people to feel the atmosphere and so-called entourage of their separation. These special places are as a rule not too cherished and loved by people for they invariably remind everyone of sad moments of saying good-bye to one's closest people.

Of course, these places are airports, railway stations and hospitals – they are the main one that is, the official 'special places' of Mr. Good-bye. The rest special places depend on the situation and can happen anywhere – practically anywhere where the procedure of saying good-bye is happening.

Thousands of people see their loved ones on the platforms at the railway stations. That gives the place an atmosphere of an out-of-this-world sadness and spirit of the clock which suddenly stopped with a certain person's leaving. The atmosphere is filled with huge hopes of those who stay and start their waiting, despair of those who have only uncertainty watering their eyes and eventually falling down people's cheeks.

Hospital is Mr. Good-Bye's special place as well. It's the most hopeless place which suggests no waiting or even blissfully ignorancing once the time to say good-bye arrives. Of course, Mr. Good-bye isn't lazy at all (unfortunately) and can visit any place he likes or doesn't like just to inspire people who part for the 'right' mood.
