A sad side to any relationship, particularly friendship is when people have to stay away from one another geographically... It is painful and heart breaking.. It is as if you are parting away with part of yourself... It becomes even more distressing when it is uncertain as to when they would get to see one another gain... The advent of communication and technology has to some extent reduced this separation and allows friends to stay in touch... but then the physical presence has no perfect substitution....
In this world, staying together and meeting all the worldly needs is difficult and so one at various occasions has to mention BYE to his friends... Life cannot tick on friendship; They say it runs on money.... When trying to sooth someone, when parting, I always give this analogy to make light of things...
Consider a analog watch/clock with its minute and hour hands...The two hands stand for the two friends an the clock in entirety for their friendship... The two hands run around meeting each other at some points in time... They do not stay together... If they do stay together always, the clock is dysfunctional and so is their friendship... So they go around and around.. ensuring the a truly functioning relationship...Another notable point is, though the outer edges of the hands end up only meeting for a fraction of time at regular intervals; the inner edges of the hands are always together... translating to that they are always close to one another hearts always, No matter the miles separating them ...
So don't feel bad to say bye to your friends... It is all for the betterment of each other...
