Do I really have to say goodbye? | Saying Goodbye Ep. 186

from The Daily Disturbance · host Anthony Pangilinan

Not really. But it would really be the courteous thing to do. And even if there may be cases where saying goodbye may not be necessary, over-all, saying goodbye has benefits that outweigh the consequences of just keeping one’s mouth (and heart) shut. “Sometimes, you have to find the good in goodbye.”

TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Do I really have to say goodbye? This is the day disturbance podcast with Anthony Fungina. Well, you don't have to, but if it's gone, it's gone. Like the sunrise this morning.

Or the kids, Kazentimo, who just left after taking a few days here as a break from his own home. Or the batch mates who were present in a eulogy over Zoom this morning for a classmate to pass away the other day. Gone, whether I said my goodbyes are not, they're gone. It's over.

But it is proper to say goodbye, even as a matter of courtesy. Or from a video call, or at the end of an official online class. From an unknown writer, nothing lasts forever. Forever is a lie.

All we have is what's in between hello and goodbye. Why should we say goodbye? Why? Or perhaps more clearly, not to say goodbye, why should we let go?

Because in reality, we do find ourselves unwilling, right? Or unable to let go. Not to say goodbye. In the end, it really is a choice.

Yours in mind. So a couple of things to think about, a few things to think about. Why should we say goodbye or let go? So that number one, regretting what happened.

The most painful goodbyes, and you know this, are those not made, nor processed. Number two, so that imaginations won't go wild. I heard this millennial term. De lulu, I think it means delusional, right?

Delusions. Without putting words to feelings, right? We leave too much room to unhelpful thoughts. And as I said, even delusions.

Say goodbye, so imaginations won't go wild. Name it, say it, right? Acknowledge it to tame it. Number three, so that good memories, perhaps even a friendship or an open door, can be preserved.

Number four, so that healing can begin. Or won't even be needed. I've heard of well said goodbyes that gave instant healing. Number five, so that truth is established.

And we know that truth sets us free, all the normally after it pisses us off, right? Too much regret, too much anger, confusion, guilt, after bad closures, or no closures at all, when we do not say goodbye and let go. Saying goodbye, right, when you leave, is so important because it is the right thing to do. Whether immediately or eventually face to face, or if your security is a concern in the confines of your own personal space, as you let the object go.

Much to think about. Well, don't you relate with this quote? We started with a simple hello, but ended with a complicated goodbye. As you assess it, stay positive.

And I quote, sometimes you have to find the good in the goodbye, end quote. Well, this has to end, my friend. Can you reflect? Can you try?

Goodbye.
