How would you feel if moving to a new town meant losing track of your friends?What if the only way of getting news from faraway friends was writing letters that took ages to be delivered?This was how things worked not very long ago.Thanks to advances in technology,how we make friends and communicate with them has changed significantly.
Nowadays,we can move around the world and still stay in touch with the people that we want to remain friends with.Social media tools let us see what our friends are up to and maintain friendships.All you need is a wi-fi connection.
The digital age also enables us to find people who share our interests,such as collecting model cars or playing an unusual instrument.Whatever our hobbies,the Internet can connect us with others who also enjoy doing them,even if they live on the other side of the world.
But when you “friend” people online,does this mean that they really are your friends?
It depends.
If people always exchange true personal information online,then yes,these friendships can be real and meaningful.But we need to keep in mind that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a person.
On social media sites,people tend to post only positive updates that make them appear happy and friendly.But smiling photos can hide real problems.Remember the saying:on the Internet,nobody knows you’re a dog.A young person could be old;a woman could be a man;we could even be sharing our information with criminals.
But this doesn’t mean that we should throw the baby out with the bathwater.Although technology has changed the way we acquire friends,the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same.As Aristotle said,no one would choose to live without friends,even if he had all other goods.

Saying farewell to someone you love,even for a night,can be difficult,much less saying goodbye for a lifetime or forever in death.Juliet bid Romeo adieu(再见) for the evening with the words,“Parting is such sweet sorrow.” Sweet sorrow is an oxymoron(矛盾修辞法).But this seeming contradiction is true in the context of relationships.
Relationships are based on feelings,emotions,and passion.Deep friendships and loving relationships are measured by the level of emotional attachment.Emotions intensify over time.People spend time with the people they like.The more one person likes another person,the closer the relationship becomes.Each person in the relationship receives an emotional benefit from knowing the other person.
Saying goodbye means separating from the people who make up a significant part of your emotional identity.Separation,even a temporary absence,from the people you have a deep emotional connection with can cause sorrow because you will no longer be able to enjoy their company.
The sweet side of saying goodbye is the emotional fulfillment of being in a close relationship.The time spent together is emotionally rewarding,especially if that person is seen as a soulmate.Humans are social beings.We seek the love and comfort of other people.Loneliness destroys the human condition and leads to sadness.Sad people will do anything they can to find fulfilling relationships.Likewise,happy people will do anything they can to maintain or enhance relationships.Here in lies the essential point of the emotional problem.
The more intense relationships become,the more devastating the emotional loss that is felt upon separation.The exhilaration of relationships cannot be truly measured without experiencing the overwhelming loss of a deep emotional connection.
Enjoy the company of the person you are with as long as you can;knowing the pain you will feel at the end of the relationship is the true measure of the relationship.If it doesn’t hurt to say goodbye,perhaps it wasn’t worth saying hello.
