I'm bothered by this. Not by the sentiment, or the teaching, which are beautiful, but because it just doesn't sound anything like Pooh. It doesn't sound like what he might have said to Piglet. It doesn't sound like A. A. Milne and yet it claims to be 'excerpted' (directly quoted/extracted). This perplexes and intrigues me.

I agree, it feels like some kind of incestuous perversion, overlaying all that onto a bear of little brain. Bother

Ah, I just shared similar misgivings, pointing out that it was always Piglet who was anxious and Pooh who only ever really cared for elevenses.

You're correct in your reaction to this "excerpt." No credit is given to the source of the excerpt - and - it was NOT written by Milne. There were only two books, written in 1926 and 1928. I appreciate the sentiment, but not the modern verbiage, such as Piglet saying, "I’m not going to patronize you with platitudes..." Nope. Pooh has been hijacked to fit someone's interpretation of the source material. Bother indeed.
