Knowledge – for what purpose?
In The Tao of Pooh, Benjamin Hoff makes the observation that each of the characters in the Winnie the Pooh series use knowledge for very different purposes. For instance:
Rabbit uses knowledge in order to be clever.
Owl uses knowledge in order to appear clever.
Eeyore uses knowledge in order to be miserable.
Piglet uses knowledge in order to be scared.
Tigger uses knowledge in order to have fun.
So, what about Pooh? Well, Pooh is different. Pooh doesn’t use knowledge for anything. Pooh just is. Pooh is Pooh.
