Coming back, enriched

This is not much of an article, but you know me : when I have a pattern in mind, a little tool or the piece of a map, I have to write about it.

My pattern here is about someone who comes back, enriched.

Enriched with experience, of course…

1. You have a restaurant and your cook partner goes to France for a YEAR. He learned things, because when he comes back he’s different. He knows more things. He shows you. He has different ways…
2. You lover quits you, it’s a real break-up. She met someone else… But it doesn’t really work, thus she’s back in your arms… with new caresses and techniques. You notice. Does she notice you noticed?
3. A midwife quits your country to improve her skills in… India. What happens when she’s back?
4. You’re a painting teacher, and you… etc…
5. A son comes back home after he…
6. In a company, a manager comes back with team after a month with the CEO…

See my pattern? You can draw overthinking mind-maps about this :

• Do you have to go away to “come back”, of can you do it innerly? You’d have “enriched” by your researches, and “enriched” by the fact of being elsewhere…
• Is it dangerous and where is it?
• What about the noticement? You are suddenly and mysteriously enriched therefore others know something happened… somewhere else.
• Can enrichment be disguised, hidden into a false impoverishment?
• What is “resistance to change”, here, for both parts?
• The change is always happening because we grow up, so is this article about a disruption? Like : Not “more” or “more intense”, but “more complex”, or “different”?
• Why is this weaving comeback/enriched interesting? Why come back, after all? Enrichment elsewhere as steam to stay out and not coming back, ever. Enlightenment?
• What’s the difference between this and “move forward/enriched”?
• What are the risks and ways of failure, here?
• Is the comeback a way to compare? To triumph?
• What if the comebacker doesn’t realize how much it’s a big deal for whom discovers these squirting “new knowledge”?
• Do you know other stories?
• How to link this with “the return of the prodigal son” pattern?
• What the fuck do we do with returners? Admire them? Be jealous? Kill them? Smack’em go away where you come from, idiot, them? Unnoticing politely their progress?

Thanks for reading!
