Eeyore: “Pooh, do you ever have so much to say that you decide not to say anything at all?”
Pooh: “Sometimes, Eeyore. Especially when I know the words won’t make someone understand.”
Eeyore: “It’s a strange feeling. Having a whole conversation inside your heart while the world thinks you’ve gone quiet.”
Pooh: “Perhaps being quiet doesn’t mean there are no words. Perhaps it means you’ve learned that not every word needs to be given away.”
Eeyore: “But what about explaining yourself?”
Pooh: “You can explain yourself a hundred times to someone who wants to understand you, and once may be enough. But to someone who has already decided not to understand, a hundred times may still be too few.”
Eeyore: “So what do you do then?”
Pooh: “You stop arguing with closed ears. You keep your kindness, protect your peace, and sit quietly beside the river.”
Eeyore: “And let them think whatever they like?”
Pooh: “Sometimes peace is more important than having the last word.”
Eeyore: “That sounds rather wise for a Bear of Very Little Brain.”
Pooh: “Perhaps some of the wisest things are the things we finally decide not to say.” 🍯🌿🤍
