reunion

Hug

A reunion occurs after a distance.

Reunion is the result of rediscovering or rediscovering ( finding again, recovering something that was lost). It can be something physical (material) or symbolic, depending on the context .

For example: “After fourteen years of involuntary separation, the reunion between father and son occurred thanks to a television program,” “The reunion between the French president and the American president took place within the framework of a new meeting of the Group of the 20” , “The final of the tournament could mark the reunion of both teams after the remembered 1986 match” .

Examples of reunion

For there to be a reunion, there must first be some type of separation or distancing . Suppose that two young people grow up together in Uruguay until one of them, when he turns 14, emigrates with his family to Germany . Ten years later, he returns to his homeland and meets his childhood friend again. Then the reunion of both occurs.

Two basketball teams, for their part, will meet again every time they face each other in a game. If they are teams that belong to different continents, it is likely that they will only meet sporadically, in a World Cup or in the Olympic Games . Thus the reunions will not be frequent.

Loneliness

A person may wish to reunite with themselves.

From the voluntary to the casual

The reunion does not have to occur voluntarily, or at least not as a result of the will of all the parties involved. On the one hand, it can occur simply by chance , on a day in which everyone is at the same geographical point at the same time; This, in turn, can lead to a happy, tense or sad moment, among other possibilities, depending on the desire that each person has to see others.

But, in addition to the case in which all the individuals who have stopped seeing each other try to make the reunion happen, there is also the possibility that one of them will do everything possible to avoid it or simply ignore the situation and stay aside. A reunion in which not everyone is happy to see the others can be very unpleasant and accentuate the reasons that caused the distance in the first place, or become an unexpected opportunity to resolve differences and restore the relationship.

Reunions of soldiers with their families

Work in the army is one of the most sacrificial, not only for those who carry it out but also for their loved ones, who in many cases must wait for their return knowing that their lives are in danger and without being able to do anything to avoid it or protect them. .

That is why reunions between soldiers and their families are among the most emotional scenes in human life, and many of them can be seen on the most popular social networks.

Meeting of musical bands

The term reunion is also often used when a music band gets back together to record an album or perform live.

This is very common in groups that began their careers in the 90s , since many of them lacked personality and distinctive songs, and focused on temporary success based on the physical beauty of their members. Generally, these groups were composed only of boys or girls and their music is usually classified as "commercial" , to distinguish it from that which arises as a result of deep and genuine work.

Reunion with oneself

A person who wants to rediscover himself, finally, will be one who wants to get back in touch with some quality or hobby that he left aside.

There are people who one day begin to feel a certain dissatisfaction with their existence and then embark on a process of internal search to find again what previously gave them happiness.
