The Dark Dark Night

Wednesday, January 02, 2008

Ever heard of the tales of peter pan, little red ridding hood, snow white and the other what-not? These tales are all concluded with a happy ending and wonderful storyline which is almost the same. But I wonder if it is ever possible in the real world...

Peter Pan left a huge impact in my mind. A kid who refuses to grow up and have the greatest imagination. A close companion, Tinkerbell who is ever ready to put out her life to save him. Peter Pan also have a group of friends whom he brought over to Neverland because they have a sad experience which they eagerly wanted to give away. There he fight with the evil captain hook who have this hatred towards kids and the crocodile who bite off one of his hand.

Many a times I hope that I can meet Peter Pan and ask him to bring me to this amazing land where kids will not age and where happy thoughts abound. I can then leave this world and forget everything that have left a sad memory in my mind. I hate to think about all those bad memories when the day turned dark or when I am alone.

Growing up is so scary. The deceitful world where everyone is waiting to prey on another. Or the fact that everyone does things with a motive, even when making friends. Everyone just hopes to hear the nice things and detest all the negative comments. Unlike being young where every single soul is so pure and untainted. Being kids, you can say anything directly and not hide any feelings. Scheming wasn't even in the vocabulary of these kids.

If we were in Neverland, we will probably like it there and not wanting to leave. The companion of friends everyday, good clean fun and no worries is the key to living in Neverland. Everyone is so true to each other and without any motive in their actions. This is the life I am yearning for. I love to be with my friends, I love fun and most importantly, I love food. Did I mention that the food in Neverland is tuned to our imagination. That means if we image the food to be delicious, then it will be.

What more in life do we need than to have a close friend beside you 24/7? Our happiness is limited by our expectations. But in Neverland where time is of no importance, every desire in life will be worthless. Education, abilities and talents are of no use. Since we have all the time in the world, we can do whatever we want. In this sense, there is no need for all these worldly things we sort after with all our might.

My only wish now is to meet Peter Pan and ask him to take me back with him...
