Quote #4
It would have been jolly to talk like this, and really, it wasn't much good having anything exciting like floods, if you couldn't share them with somebody. (Winnie-the-Pooh.9.2)
Unique experiences are pretty amazing, but what good are they if you can't share them with someone? That time you blew a bubble that was actually the size of your face? When someone needed your help snuggling this dog while he ran a quick errand? The cloud that looked just like the dude from Roger Rabbit who was a human but turns into a cartoon and his eyes pop out and his voice gets all squealy and stuff? Those once-in-a-lifetime experiences don't mean as much unless you can share them with loved ones. We are a social species, after all.
Quote #5
"Well done, Piglet," said Christopher Robin. And at these encouraging words Piglet felt quite happy again […] they all went off together hand-in-hand. (House.3.122-123)
Friends have a way of picking you up when you're down. Thanks, CR.
Quote #6
It suddenly came over him [Piglet] that nobody had ever picked Eeyore a bunch of violets, and the more he thought of this, the more he thought how sad it was to be an Animal who had never had a bunch of violets picked for him. (House.5.85)
It's the little things. Sure, violets in and of themselves aren't that amazing, but to know that your friend was just thinking about you, and went out of his way to do something nice just because? We all have a thing or two to learn from Piglet. Really. Just ask our significant others.
