Random Things That Popped In Mind Before Exam

The time to part and leave will come someday, so, goodbye. Wait, goodbye? Why goodbye? Is parting that good that we will use goodbye? Isn't parting supposed to be sad and unwanted? Not necessarily, but sometimes yeah, we don't want to be apart with people we love, it's just that we have to. So why we say goodbye when we part with people we love? I know it's just a phrase we use. It doesn't literally mean good and bye. Or maybe it is, when a person who you don't like and keep bugging you say they have to go now, you want to say "Good, (finally) bye", disguising it as "goodbye" cause you know, we don't want to be the rude bad person and hurt their feeling. Joking aside, maybe goodbye is used because we want that person to be good, even after we leave, so be good and bye. I don't know. It's just somehow feel so wrong to say goodbye with happy face. It's like, I'm happy I'll not see you again, good bye.

Now, because I had so much spare time before my exam (I was still studying, but cause it's so boring, My mind wandered and I procrastined), I googled goodbye, apparently I was both so wrong and so close. Goodbye doesn't mean "Good, (finally) bye" or sarcastically "Good bye". It's as quoted from the freedictionary.com

"No doubt more than one reader has wondered exactly how goodbye is derived from the phrase "God be with you." To understand this, it is helpful to see earlier forms of the expression, such as God be wy you, god b'w'y, godbwye, god buy' ye, and good-b'wy. The first word of the expression is now good and not God, for good replaced God by analogy with such expressions as good day, perhaps after people no longer had a clear idea of the original sense of the expression. A letter of 1573 written by Gabriel Harvey contains the first recorded use of goodbye: "To requite your gallonde [gallon] of godbwyes, I regive you a pottle of howdyes," recalling another contraction that is still used."

Moving along, MONEY!! Everyone's life seems to revolve somewhere around money. Yeah, it's that important. But sometimes, we forget that "Money doesn't necessarily bring you happiness, you don't buy happiness with money, you buy things that MIGHT make you happy" and "The best things in life are always free". You don't buy love, best friends. Well, maybe you could buy them, but then love or friends that are there for your money? I wouldn't even think about that. So money is important but not everything. You might not be able to survive life without money, but that doesn't make money is the NUMBER ONE thing in your life. You were born naked, without any money, and still you survived, cause you have the best things in life, love. Your parent(s) or maybe someone else raised you! No matter how high class you think you are, or you are from royal family, or stuff, you're still born naked without money!!!

Why do people exist? Some people live their lives full of suffering. Hypothetically, let say human has lifespan of exactly 70 years. The second a human is born, at that second, that human is a second closer to 70 years or closer to the death. So, the second you were born, you started dying. Do we live to die?

God, I had so much time thinking about these kind of stuff, and actually wrote them down. Well, I hope I don't screw up later.
