Closure

It's amazing how people never really make the effort to close anything properly. Close a conversation, close an email correspondence, close a deal even, where there is money at stake. Why not? It just shows how short-sighted one can be, when one doesn't bother to make the effort to ensure future contact and interaction can be picked up again, especially when you really need to do it for your own benefit sometime down the road. Leaving things hanging, or "some things are best left unsaid" kind of thinking will never get you anywhere, because first, "things", whatever they may be, do not mean the same to everyone all the time. So if you want to pick up from where you'd left off, you don't even know what to pick up and from where. As for "some things are best left unsaid", it just smacks of a lazy, cannot-be-bothered and often cowardly attitude, doesn't it? Cowardly because some times, we just want to avoid all possiblities for confrontation/conflict, even though those "possibilities" are often imagined. So, better to quietly melt away and hope everything is ok, lah. Yeah, just hope.
