When Piglet heard, Sen. Ted Cruz say, "My goal is to keep affordable health care out of the reach of ordinary Americans." Piglet was terrified.

Why use Winnie the Pooh's friend Piglet? He's easily scared, worried, confused and scared. I write scared three times because Piglet gets scared three times as much when he hears negative news.

To understand how negative news affect us, encourage you to read: The Te of Piglet is based around two topics, the concept of Te, the Chinese word meaning 'power' or 'virtue', and Piglet of the Winnie the Pooh books.^[3] Hoff elucidates the Taoist concept of 'Virtue — of the small'; though, he also uses it as an opportunity to elaborate on his introduction to Taoism. It is written with many embedded stories from the A. A. Milne Winnie the Pooh books, both for entertainment and because they serve as tools for explaining Taoism....  The book goes through the other characters — Tigger, Owl, Rabbit, Eeyore and Pooh — to show the various aspects of humanity that Taoism says get in the way of living in harmony with the Tao. 

What happens when you read negative news to Piglet? Read on and see how Piglet reacts:

• Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) called Thursday, the day the government reopened after a shutdown that lasted almost two weeks, "a very sad day." "I'm confused? Why is opening up the government a bad thing? Piglet asks. Will it make sick?

• Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, voted to keep the government shutdown. One would believe he doesn't remember the stories he was told about Cuban Dictator, Fidel Castro.  Rubio is using his power to shutdown the United States government. Fidel may have failed in destroying America but Sen. Marco Rubio is now finishing the job for Castro. "Oh my, this is ever so frightful." Piglet jitters.

• Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, with "His eyes welling up with tears, Sen. Cruz said, “I embarked on this crusade with a simple goal: to keep affordable health care out of the reach of ordinary, hard-working Americans. And while this battle was lost, that dream—that precious, cherished dream—will live on." (Ted's father fought for communist revolutionary Fidel Castro in the Cuban Revolution.^[19][20] Another score for Fidel Castro)  Piglet ponders and says, "Why does he want to keep me from getting healthcare? It scares me! Am I sick? 

Piglet you are not sick. There is nothing to fear.  You may be small but you have great power and no one can take it a way.
