The other side of a coin
What Yasir said is exactly what is underlining my emotion. I am emotional to have my friends leaving the village, because it is them, not the place itself I have developed attachment. So as they leave, the place I like is disappearing. If I had strong attachement to the country itself, I would be feeling much more assured knowing that I could go back and find the place again if I really want. Like I can go back to my hometown and find friends from my youth.
But it is not the case here.
My attachement will be to a virtual place that will be only in my memory.
OK, I should not be so pessimistic here as the one known to be the most pessimistic among three of us is miraculously pointing the bright side of the situation. :)
Yes, moving on is a opportunity to see new places, to meet new people, possibly as wonderful as those who we have known. What is more, people you can always trace and
see if your wish to do so is strong enough...

somehow I find much easier to leave a place I did not feel so deep in my soul..like you two said, what we got attached to, are the special people we met; that group of people made of Liberia a virtual special place. A mission. It's mission life we are talking about. We can think we can create again this place just with our presence, since we can meet again and what we miss is eachother, but not directly a specific place. When I left a place I really felt attached to, it was much more painful. That was really getting separated from a part of my life.
