jung…. its funny how there isnt a word like that in english.. or maybe there is but its probably not a word that is used often..
i think it shows a lot about koreans… seeing how this word is pretty much known by any fluent speaker of the korean language shows that we as koreans take relationships, whether it be between and guy and a girl, a wife and husband, sibling and sibling, friend and friend, very seriously and that its hard for us to cut off a relationship. And we try really hard to keep a relationship going and idk…. its hard us to forget someone… and even harder to admit the fact that the relationship is no more….
i think jung is wat keeps a relationship together… after a while.. love fades, interest fades, having fun fades away… but the relationship doesnt cuz of jung.
wats hardest is having to let go of that relationship.
because we get too attached to someone… and then there comes a point when u or the other has to leave…
maybe thats why a lot of people choose not to have a Best friend. or choose to stay single, or choose to always have a line they keep between them and another… because its hard to say bye
even if its not a bye forever… its a bye to their close relationship… because no matter how great their attachment is to one another, distance between a relationship makes it hard for them to keep their once close relationship….
and for those people with a lot of this “jung”, its hard for them to say bye to ANYONE.. even if they werent that close.. cuz these people appreciate everyone and their relationships they had together… even if they werent the best of friends or saw them every day or talked to them every week…. because these people could feel the emptiness after someone leaves…. even the slightest change. because these people feel that EVERYONE is a part of their life. and for someone to leave or go further from their world is to leave an empty space where only time could fill it up again but never enough where they forget about that person completely. its hardest for people like this but yet, its people like this who get too attached to someone, even when they know they shouldnt….these people try to stop having too much jung.. but they cant cuz thats how they were born… these people dont choose to have a lot of jung… they cant help it….
wat i really wanna write:
