THE BEAR IN OUR MIND
WHEN I WAS A CHILD, MY TEDDY BEAR
AND I WERE INSEPARABLE. HE WOULD
KEEP ME COMPANY ALL DAY AND PROTECT
ME AT NIGHT WHILE I SLEPT. I WAS NOT THE
ONLY KID DOING SO; I AM CONVINCED THAT
AT LEAST 75% OF CHILDREN SLEEP WITH A
TEDDY BEAR. IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT
PHASE OF ATTACHMENT AND PROTECTION
IN THE PSYCHOLOGICAL GROWTH OF
A CHILD.
JUST THINK ABOUT WHAT YOUR TEDDY BEAR
REALLY MEANT TO YOU. TRY TO THINK OF
YOURSELF AS IF YOU WERE 3 YEARS OLD...
YOU PROTECTED YOUR BEAR AND YOUR BEAR
PROTECTED YOU. NOTHING BAD COULD EVER
HAPPEN, AS LONG AS YOU ALWAYS KEPT YOUR
BEAR CLOSE TO YOU.
THE REASON FOR THIS IS SIMPLE. AT THE AGE
OF 3, THE NIGHT WAS HAUNTED BY SPIRITS.
SOME OF THE SPIRITS WERE WORSE THAN
OTHERS. A BLANKET AND THE TEDDY BEAR
PROVIDED PROTECTION AGAINST TERRIBLE
DISASTERS AND EVIL SPIRITS. DURING DAYTIME,
THE TEDDY BEAR WAS NOT ALIVE, BUT NIGHT
AFTER NIGHT, HE BECAME ALIVE AND KEPT ALL
THE BAD SPIRITS AWAY. WE WOULD HAVE GIVEN
OUR LIVES FOR OUR TEDDY BEAR.
THE BEAR AS AN ANIMAL FITS PERFECTLY IN THIS
PERFORMANCE OF THE SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS.
IT IS STRONG AND ALSO A FEARLESS EXPLORER
FACING THE CHALLENGES OF SURVIVAL ONCE
THE MOTHER LETS HIM GO. THIS EXPLAINS WHY
THE BEAR SYMBOLIZES NOT ONLY STRENGTH,
BUT ALSO COURAGE. IT IS NOT A SURPRISE
THAT THE ATTACHMENT OF THE TEDDY BEAR
IS THE BEST FRIEND AND COMPANION FOR
MANY CHILDREN.
