Who were the original Lost Boys? Were they those characters from Peter Pan? That is one of my favorite childhood stories by the way. A story of never wanting to grow up. But for me that wasn't the charm-never growing up that is-it was kids making a world for themselves that adults could not penetrate. Adults could not destroy their self belief, self worth and all manner of their fantasies in Neverland.
Men and women should never grow up in that sense- they should never stop believing in their invincibility. But they should know they have to stop throwing tantrums and the like. That it just shows a lack. A lack of confidence, a lack of foresight, a lack of 20-20 vision like that song, that I can't quite remember, goes.
But so many young people I come across these days seem to believe that the world is theirs to be ungrateful at. That it is their right to spit back at life. They have no respect for anything, least of all themselves. Makes me wonder, when and how did the majority of my generation stop getting it, if they ever got it in the first place?
This song maybe a little too much, but hey...
