A Deeper Look Into That Bear

I changed my Google search today, to "I like Winnie the Pooh" in order to get more personal entries. I didn't get much of it. But I found a few interesting things that fill up the other hemisphere of the Winnie the Pooh spectrum.

Apparently, Winnie the Pooh suffers from ADHD. I don't know why, but it puts him in a much better light.

And finally, something else I'm reading at the moment...

...I don't agree with everything said inside. It's...It's too positive and bright it's almost incomprehensible. The light! It's stinging my eyes!!!

Okay... So I get the idea that people like Winnie the Pooh because it's positive, positive, and just plain positive. Full of happiness, joy, friendship, loyalty...all the dream like stuff. Especially the quotes.

I've read some of the quotes...

...It's so bloody sweet and care-bearish. I'm not gothic, not emo, not that jaded and not cynical. It's just, some things are so impossibly sweet and bright, they simply sting me the way sometimes eating sweets hurts my teeth.

And most of all, I cannot understand turning a blind eye to the negative things in life. I still believe that a person is not whole until they also understand suffering and pain.

Ahhh. I finally found the word that more accurately describes why I'm repelled by the things I read. It's naviete. It's not even innocence, which I like very much. While an innocent person can face negative things and still come out innocent, a naive person simply denies negative things... And denial often backfires.

Most of the friendship quotes disturb me. About how "I'll always be with you" (like a ghost watching from your room ceiling?), "I'm always in your heart and in your mind" (like the Phantom of the Opera) etc etc etc. Come on, who the hell can live if a person is always sticking by your side like a siamese twin? Ask such twins if they live an easy life...they don't.

Just a related off topic, but I saw a quote that went something like, if both live a hundred days, I want to live a day lesser so I never have to spend a day without you. Wow. That sounds sweet on the surface, but it's kinda selfish or weak down under. If you guys were that close, I'm sure your friend wouldn't want to live a day without you either. Why not die together instead of causing pain to your friend?!

Brings to mind that ah gong song to the ah ma about who gonna die first. "If you get there before I do, don't give up on me... I'll meet you when my chores are through. I don't know how long I'll be." <-- br="" i="" is="" more...sincere="" much="" so="" think.="" this="">
Hahahaha I don't know why I'm even droning about these?!

I'm not changing what I said earlier about Pooh though...the descriptions amuse myself. Hehehehehe.

My conclusion... Well, some of the quotes that Winnie the Pooh have are nice. I don't agree with all of them cuz they're just plain naive, but now instead of deserving to be burnt by the Sun, Pooh deserves a place on the plate on the dinner table more. At least he's now edible.
