We get hurt most of the time, and most of those times, the reason was often the lonely word GOODBYE. We always blame it...in fact, we hated it...But have we ever thought why this word is created, why it came to life? Is it to punish us and make us suffer? Is it to condemn us and make our life miserable? I think not. It's there to teach us to become stronger. ...to help us realize we can always do better next time. ...to remind us to have hope and to have faith. ...to make us a better person. ...and simply, just to introduce us to a word called "hello". BECAUSE EVERY AFTER GOODBYES THERE ARE ALWAYS NEW BEGINNINGS.

Well Goodbye is just a temporary way of saying farewell.

Or, I guess it's the other way around...Some people who hates to say goodbye would say farewell instead. Farewell is more positive, it's a parting word usually of good wishes. Goodbye is more permanent and hurtful...What do you think?

HI,len Yes,our human being creat so many wonderful,significative words for us to communicate our meanings we wanted to express.every word is difference. Here we pertinence discuss the word"goodbye".we all maybe afraid to hear this word when someone you loved at one time deeply hurt to you.but i think you are right that"every after goodbyes there are always new beginning". The reason is that i was and would be keep the new beginning for long right now. when i disappointed love i moved to another city,find a new job,cut a new hairstyle,change a new mobiefone.it is a rebirth for me......i hope that i could be better for everything and i will let me keep on this new full spirits......

I pray everything will get better for you. I'm not saying you will not get hurt again, but you will get stronger, that time will come you can face every goodbyes with head held up high without having you to move again to a different city or changing everything about you...

I like it when you inserted "Hello" in your post. As it goes, "Goodbyes not the end. Its a circle you know. And it starts with one hello ..." I never really thought of how the word Goodbye is created. But I'm quite sure I have an idea about its purpose. Goodbye really makes us realize lots of things. It could be like the ones you already mentioned above such as a reminder to do better next time, to have hope and faith.. Also, applying goodbye in my personal life means a start of something new again. I know it hurts and its never easy dealing with it. But I just believe in the saying "When one door closes, another one opens".

Your topic is very inspiring. I really like it. Goodbyes are really hurtful and painful,but it is right that we have to accept it. It's not always goodbye,there also hello and hi. Some goodbyes helps us learn,and from there we become a better person. Goodbyes are not forever,isn't it? Just like the saying "When a door closes,there's still a window open for you." :)

We need to remember that everything that has a beginning has end. We encounter goodbye, and for some reason it is really hurt. It is hurts because you get into it and you think you can no longer live without it. This is the fact that we should remember in everything we have, treasure it as long as it yours because time will come the things/person/anything you cherish will be lost and say goodbye

But somebody says goodbye to us its really paining and its like heartache true. But we can learn some ethics and we also know what we are actually from other persons when they become friends and says goodbye is it not. If they are not talking to me also, i will pray for them for their good future, as a well wisher of them i always hope for their betterment in their life, which gives somethings satisfaction is it !

We shouldn't think of goodbye as forever. goodbye doe not have to mean the end. Some goodbyes are painful to bear, but it doesn't have to be the end of our world and our happiness in life. Goodbye should just be a greeting until we meet again.

Every meeting always ends with goodbye, every beginning always has to come to an end. That's life. You are so right saying that every goodbye there is always a new beginning.

Hi len, it is easy to tell goodbye but is it really happens. I have a friend called Sunitha she is actually feeling guilty to talk to us and also blocked our mails but i know she must be feeling missing of all the friends. Of late i have a friend online we had a clash three days before and i decided not to talk also, but after that i am feeling missing more than that when i was speaking to that friend. Actually i was suffering from some chronic liver problem since 6 months that is why i want to keep busy by doing some work and engage in work, by accidentally i made a friend online, we both are sharing our thoughts and views, it was very nice to share like that i used to forget all other things while chatting with that friend, I even didn't notice how fast days have gone. I never feel that i have a problem too. One way i have to tell thanks to god and to that friend also. Because happy feelings may cure our health problems too. I was very happy each and every minute which i spend with that friend. I don't go out to meet my friends or relatives but if they come to my house i feel happy and i will spend with them. I feel that is god has send me a good online friend. But i never disclosed my problem to any one of my friends because they may feel sad which i don't want. Because of the clash, i feel it is good for both, that friend may become busy or concentrate on the studies. But In future if become more close than before it may give much pain to know about me. Because i may not have long life. How many days i will have life those many days i never forget my friends though they told goodbye. I am not the kind person to forget people who helped me or close to me. I even remember them in my prayers, requesting god to help them in whatever they want and need. SAYING GOOD BYE IS EASY BUT UNFORGETTABLE. IT IS ONLY BY THE WORDS NOT BY THE HEART. Do you agree this? Have a wonderful weekend. God Bless you.

What a load of crap. If you care about someone why would you ever say goodbye.
