THE PETER PAN SYNDROME

Why is it that Men refuse to grow up and rather stay boys? Ok , I understand it is more fun, the ignorance, the ability to do as you wish, "free will without concsiousness", but, there does come a time when all of that must not necessarily come to an end, but at least to a close because you must grow up. Everyone has to accept their responsibilities, (whether we want to or not). But as far as men becoming men, they'd rather stay as "boys" or "guys" because they believe if and when they grow up their fun will be over. This is not true. It is only the begining of a New adventure. Granted there will be responsilbility, and moments where as an adult you have to choose reason over whim, but, that does in no way mean that as an adult your fun has stopped. Or that one cannot have a meaningful relationship. Why are men so afraid of commitment and feel as though they need to wander the grounds in search of fresh meat? Do they not realize that in their search, it is a thirst that will never be fully quenched? They will always seek a sweeter juice, there will always be a ripper berry, there will always be a "new fresh fruit". Why can't they be happy or satisfied with the one who loves them purely and true? Why can't they grow up and see the reality that stands in front of them? Why can't they understand that the life of Peter Pan is a lonely one, because everyone around him will eventually grow up, and yet, he remains the same, by his own will. It is Peter's will that betrays him, his lust for more, more, but there will always be more and it will eventually become a boredom, but men do not see this, or should I say boys, because men know what they want, they have grown up and faced reality and are happy because they have "grown up", but a boy, or a guy, he is just Peter Pan, whom chooses never to grow into a man and live life, instead chooses a falsity. A fantasy life that is only real in his mind, but others around see it for what it is, a dream state in which if not awoken, can bring forth nightmare's of the reality trying its best to sink into his mind which continues to block it out. Men are no longer Peter Pan, they love, they face the trails that come their way, they are not afraid to be who they are and have become. But boys, well, they stay in their playpens until they decide to come out or someone smells their diapers and decides to help change them. That is though, some of them rather wallow in their own defacation rather than be helped. So I pity the Peter Pans, for they may live in their Neverland and be happy, but true happiness is accepting who you are and waking up from your fantasy and living in reality.
