I had a deeply moving chat recently with someone witty and wise that I know, about the subject of closure. Since then I have mulled further upon the subject.
When relationships end, usually we know exactly why they ended. This really does help. It's like reading a book to the end and knowing exactly how the story ends, and why. One can then close the book and move on to other new stories, without being confused and wondering about the previous one anymore.
But occasionally, relationships end, and we're not exactly sure why, or perhaps even what went wrong, or why the other person decided to end it, because they're either not telling us at all, or not telling us enough, or not telling us the entire truth. This can be very frustrating to the person who is left not knowing. It's like getting to the end of a book, and realising someone has ripped out the final few pages of it, so you'll never know how the story ended, or why. You might eventually move on to other books, but you'll always be wondering what the ending of the previous one was about. And it will leave you dubious about any future books you might be inclined to read, in case the same thing happens all over again. It can traumatise and worry you for a long time to come.
It is a horrible position to be in, to be left wondering and not fully knowing why a relationship ended, wondering if it was you, or them, or whatever. It helps if you are given the chance to understand fully why it ended, and to get an opportunity to say goodbye and put a proper ending on things, since this person has obviously meant a lot to you and been a major part of your life throughout the relationship. Having a full understanding of the situation helps aid the bereavement and healing processes that inevitably come with a relationship ending.
Everyone needs closure. Everyone needs an ending to their story, even if it's an unhappy one. It's the least one can do when one leaves a relationship, to let the other party know exactly why one is leaving.
Breakups are awful. But we don't need to make them harder on each other than they already are. Empathy is a wonderful thing. And if we do the right thing by our former partners, we can walk away with our head held high, knowing that we kept our integrity to the last, even if we couldn't or wouldn't keep the relationship going.
If someone already knows exactly why you're leaving them, like, there was domestic violence or whatever, then you can just run for the hills without a backward glance. But in some other cases, when there was no violence, no fight, no obvious big catalyst for the end...then fess up and tell the other person why you ended it. Rip off that Band-Aid. Do the right thing.
Mi jobb egy Szergejnél? Természetesen kettő! A 145 és a 223-as duó halad Kopáncs után. Mivel a kép készítésének idejében Telekgerendás és Békéscsaba között 5 napos vágányzár volt érvényben útátjáró átépítés miatt, ezért az orosházi elegy a 135-ös vonal alsó szakaszán, Szeged felől közlekedett. A képen is egy ilyen, Orosháza és Szeged-Rendező között közlekedő tehervonat látható, mely 10 ócskavassal rakott és 20 üres kvarchomok fordás kocsiból állt.
What's better than one "Sergej"? Two, of course! The No. 145 and the No. 223 are running near Kopáncs. Since there was a 5-day track closure between Telekgerendás and Békéscsaba due to the reconstruction of a level crossing at the time the photo was taken, trains traveling to and from Orosháza ran on the lower section of line 135 from Szeged. The photo shows one such freight train running between Orosháza and Szeged-Rendező, consisting of 10 wagons loaded with scrap metal and 20 empty wagons used for transporting quartz sand.

Just as we accept the existence of light even though physicists have not yet explained how its wave characteristics are compatible with quanta of energy, so we can accept the present trait of the transforming union, even if we do not see into the deepest explanatory root of it.

I finally got some conditions and shots from here without spray everywhere ! This is an easy access spot but the entire 5-10 minute walk here is through lush, beautiful forest. There's so much to explore between the trees leading to this spot too.
