That day I was watching My Friends, Tigger and Pooh on Playhouse Disney with the niece when I caught this really interesting conversation between Piglet and Eeyore:
Piglet: Eeyore, why are you so sad? Is it because something bad happened?
Eeyore: No. I am sad because nothing good happened.
(This reminded me eerily of NSM.)
But I guess it’s all a matter of perspectives, right? If we are happy for something good that happened, then the implication is that the status quo is always something sad. If we are sad for something bad that happened, then the status quo is always something happy. Kinda reminds me of one of those “there’s no light without darkness” (or was it the other way around?) thingy.
