Parting




Parting


People dislike partings.

Some partings are absent of reluctance or regrets.

There are partings in which 
one has had to say farewell to a person he should not, 
only to live pent up with heartache.

To part with one who has helped you and loved you is indeed heartbreaking.

But out of all others, man has a mind in which partings are sad and full of grief.

The most important thing in the world for people is to eat and live, 
and so they scatter here and there in pursuit of this, 
only to be left with heartbreak 
and thus becoming a heartache to one another.

They are never able to forget their love; 
they bury it in their hearts 
and live their lives in utmost longing.

Though the world is not perfect,
there were loving people here and there.

It is on the warmth of love that man lives;
thus it is heartbreaking that
the world has become a place
where people do not know each other,
only their own selves.
