All of life is an act of letting go, but what hurts most is not taking a moment to say goodbye. Nowadays, all of the people seem like free and easy, we always try to laugh it off whatever we meet, whether it is embarrass or hurting. Friends would tell you "Don’t take the life so seriously” if you were feeling confused, so you have to smile again and tell yourself, “I don't care about it at all”, to avoid to be an old-of-date person. I could not help but wonder : is it out-of -date to talk about love and face it seriously? To this question, most of people would answer it like that: love is the most precious gift and we should face it seriously. In reality however, the most common and correct act is that we should quickly move on and look for a new date to instead of the old one. No one wants to be a foolish infatuated animal anymore, we don't even to say good bye. Efficiency, exactly. Efficiency is exactly a virtue in modern times, but too bad the heart of human is still one of the most fragile things on the planet. It might take times to evolve to be an advanced species without fragile heart I guess. I don’t know whether I am a out-of-date girl, but I still insist that we need to say good-bye seriously when a relationship ends. Having the guts and the courtesy to tell him/her to his/her face that you no longer like him/her anymore. It is definitely hurting but respectful, comparing with using coldness to force him/her to say good bye first or keeping him/her as a Spire Tire or just disappearing. Giving an ending to him/her that is thoughtful and decent and honors what you had together. All of life is an act of letting go, but what hurts most is not taking a moment to say goodbye.

Regarding the content: I agree with you! We shouldn't think efficiency when dealing with other people but rather effectiveness. There is no efficiency in human interaction. There is too much of an avoidance of the "difficult" conversations, for example around ending a relationship.
