Farewell parties

One day, a secondary school friend told me that my secondary school principal is leaving the school. Then i looked at my msn list... and saw another friend gathering people for the principal's farewell party.


Then i thought... wait. So do they like the principal or not? If they like her, why are they celebrating her leaving? If they don't like her, it makes more sense to celebrate her leaving. But why waste time on somebody you don't like?

And... imagine if its this situation instead.
---------------------------------------------
MOE: Alright principal, you shall be moved to this some place that is not your old secondary school forever. You will never go back.
Principal: Alright. Time to spread the news...

Students: NOOO Y U GO!!!!11111111
party bla bla bla......... tears and blood flow out.... and the setting sun bullshit in cliche farewells...

MOE: We're sorry. We made a mistake. It was another principal who was supposed to do that...
Principal: ...... oh shit they already held a farewell party for me. How the hell am i supposed to go back... I'm not so thick skinned.
-------------------------------------------------------
As you can see, a farewell party sets up someone who is about to leave so that someone can never come back unless he or she has skin thicker than... regular skin. So the people who went to farewell parties are really the ones who show that they don't want someone to leave, but in their hearts they are happy that they never get to see someone ever again. (I cried at your farewell... because i was too happy!)
