Li fè mal pou di orevwa

It’s Painful To Say Goodbye. Most people don’t realize how much effort it takes to write something simple yet meaningful.

Epoutan, otè Winnie the Pooh la, AA Miline , te kapab kominike siyifikasyon yon mesaj ke lektè tout laj te ka konprann. Sa se yon mesaj lanmou, amitye, responsablite, ak gwo pèt.

A.A. Miline told us through Winnie the Pooh that love is precious and friends are forever. She also told us that life is fragile and the richer and deeper our relationships, the more painful it is to say goodbye.

But is Winnie the Pooh correct? Was the Pooh Bear lucky to have experienced a depth of love so great that saying goodbye was hard? And what about when one has to say goodbye to a child, a spouse, or a parent? Are we lucky when the pain of saying goodbye is so great that it seems unbearable? It’s Painful To Say Goodbye.

AA Miline te deside ekri tou sou Eeyore, bourik la. Eeyore te gen yon pèspektiv byen diferan sou lavi, amitye, ak fratènite.

Eeyore toujou tris epi li evite emosyon. Li pa gen koneksyon pwofon ak lòt pèsonaj ki nan Bwa San Ekta a. Olye pou l fè tout sa l kapab pou lòt moun, Eeyore pa fè anpil efò pou l zanmi pèsonn. Li pa kontan. Li dekonekte ak sosyete ki bò kote l la. Li pa menm panse li merite amitye oswa bonè. Eeyore pa ni altruis ni janti. Anfèt, li viv poukont li epi li pase plizyè semèn san kontak ak lòt bèt yo.

But Eeyore has some attributes that we value in today’s society. He is independent and smart and can take care of himself without help from others. Eeyore isn’t a very needy character, and like real-life donkeys, Eeyore can make it in the wild for extended periods on his own.

But Winnie the Pooh is a flawed personality; he isn’t smart, sophisticated, or worldly. He is always hungry, has an insatiable appetite, little self-control, and a desire to eat honey (a flaw I have in human form). Winnie the Pooh is always getting into trouble that only his friends can get him out of, and it seems he can’t survive even for a day on his own. In short, Winnie the Pooh is a needy character, which is generally not a trait that is prized.

But Winnie the Pooh is happy. He is comfortable in his skin and is sociable, kind, and loyal. Winnie the Pooh knows how to live life to its fullest and is a role model for the animals in the Hundred Acre Wood. And, in case anyone didn’t understand the importance of Winnie the Pooh, he is the best friend of Christopher Robin and all of the animals in the Hundred Acre Wood.

A.A. Milne presents a clear choice: do we want to live and love like Winnie the Pooh despite the Pooh Bear’s obvious flaws and shortcomings? Or is it better to get along and be alone like Eeyore, but without being invested in the society around us?

Èske w viv lavi tankou Winnie l' ak Ourson?

I choose to live my life like Pooh Bear.

A Life Well Lived can only be a life that is full of love, fun, food, and relationships. I know that one of the downsides of the life I have chosen is that it is unpredictable and sometimes chaotic. And I know that sooner or later I will suffer the pain of saying goodbye to people I love. But until then, my life is rich and full.

Menm jan ak Winnie the Pooh, mwen gen chans paske mwen gen anpil relasyon ki pral fè di orevwa tèlman difisil; prèske ensipòtab.

Mwen te konnen pandan m t ap ekri sa a ke gen moun ki t ap kritike m paske mwen banal e adorab lè m t ap tire siyifikasyon nan yon liv timoun. Men, kisa ki banal nan leson ki pi fondamantal nou anseye timoun nou yo? Ki sa ki adorab nan pawòl AA Milne te ekri prèske 100 ane de sa, menm si yo te ekri pou timoun?

Winnie the Pooh is foundational, classic, and non-pretentious. For those who want a more sophisticated version of Winnie the Pooh, we only need to read the words of The Right Honorable Lord Alfred Tennyson’s immortal poem In Memoriam A.H.H. In this poem, Lord Tennyson wrote about the loss of his closest friend and the pain of his loss.

"Mwen kenbe li vre, kèlkeswa sa k rive;"
Mwen santi li lè mwen gen plis lapenn;
Li pi bon pou ou te renmen epi pèdi
Pase pou pa janm renmen ditou."
