Replying to Avatar Matt Corallo

(Allegedly) From the movie Garden State, by Zach Braff:

"You know that point in your life when you realize that the house that you grew up in, isn't really your home anymore? All of the sudden even though you have some place where you can put your stuff, that idea of home is gone.

You'll see when you move out - it just sort of happens one day - and it's gone. And you can never get it back. It's like you get homesick for a place that doesn't exist. I mean, it's like this rite of passage, you know.

You won't have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know - for your kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something. I miss the idea of it. Maybe that's all family really is.

A group of people who miss the same imaginary place."

Hong Kongers feel like this about their entire city, despite never leaving it

That is so sad… I had dinner with a Hong Honger businessman a few weeks ago, he said “everyone (with money) is leaving HK, people are saying goodbye to their families”.
