Christopher Robin: “Oh, Pooh. If ever there’s a tomorrow when we’re not together, there’s something you must remember.”
Pooh: “And what might that be, Christopher Robin?”
Christopher Robin: “You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”
Pooh: “Oh, that’s easy. We’re braver than a bee, and, uh, longer than a tree, and taller than a goose… or, uh, was that a moose?”
Christopher Robin: “No, silly, old bear! You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is even if we’re apart, I’ll always be with you. I’ll always be with you. I’ll always be with you.”
I frequently return back to the philosophy of Winnie the Pooh when I feel lost or scared. Pooh, in his innocence and inquisitive nature would always be taken care of. Why do you think? My thoughts on it are that he trusted those around him and he trusted that everything was going to be ok no matter what. And what a joy to be around someone like that! It makes us what to be that free, that trusting and that forgiving.
People in general just want to be loved. Bottom line. They might be mean to you or they might harm another but deep down inside they are looking for love. They are looking to be heard because nobody would listen. Some take extreme measures out on others. Some take it out on themselves. If you haven’t read the Tao of Pooh or the Te of Piglet you might want to give them a go.
