What a 'goodbye' means to me.. :)
A ‘goodbye’ would normally refer to a scenario when two or more different people are leaving each other after a meeting or interaction. It can be between parents and children, friends and friends, stranger and stranger, and more.
A ‘goodbye’ can have a variety of meaning depending on the situation of the person saying the word ‘goodbye’. For example, it can be the indication of the ending of a relationship between couples. In this particular case, it would mean that the special relationship that they have shared between them has come to an end. They could become friends thereafter. Or enemies. Or even back to the special relationship they have had before.
A ‘goodbye’ can also be between parents and children. It could be that the parent is sending the child to school, with the hope that the child will gain new knowledge and experience after they meet again. In this case, the word ‘goodbye’ is expressed with the intention of meeting the person again.
Different people have different ways of expressing their “goodbyes”. If it is between parents and children, it could be expressed in the form of a quick peck in the cheeks to illustrate their care and concern for the child. If it is between close friends, it can be expressed through a warm hug. This shows that different people have different interpretation and illustration of the word ‘goodbye’. Thus, as for me, I believe that the word ‘goodbye’ is to sincerely express one’s feeling when one is leaving someone or a group of people. The feeling can be seen through the action used to express it, like what I have stated earlier; through a warm hug, or a smile, or even tears. ** Though I feel that right now, most people actually said their ‘goodbyes’ without thinking much into it. It is expressed too many times that no one will actually delve deeper into what they really mean when they said it, and I have to admit that sometimes it occurs to me too.
