Sindrom Peter Pan

Saya ingin mengutip sedikit tentang sebuah sindrom yang ditulis oleh Deanna Kizis dalam novel nya yang keren yaitu Peter Pan's syndrome.

"We've all heard the story of Peter Pan by now. You know, Pan's flying around, doing his thing, when he becomes obsessed with this girl Wendy, and starts showing up at her house at all hours and taking her out on fancy adventures. Until, one day, Wendy wants him to act like a man. She wants him to be accountable. So what does Peter Pan do? He flies off with Tinker Bell in tow and continues his life as another immature male and Wendy gets left in the dust.

Of course, Peter Pan's story is pretty easy to figure out: Boy meets girl. Girl becomes woman. Woman wants boy to grow up. He can't handle the pressure and bails. The Peter Pan syndrome - that's pretty much every guy I've ever met."

Kita dapat menarik kesimpulan bahwa Peter Pan adalah tetap seorang bocah. Dan itulah yang kebanyakan kita lihat di dunia ini, bahwa seorang pria kebanyakan adalah tetap menjadi seorang bocah hingga sayap-sayap mereka begitu kelelahan untuk terbang.
