Always young?

I don't remember paying much attention to Peter Pan's story when I was a kid or even teenager. 🤔

But I do like Peterson's interpretation of it (not sure if there's other one?)

Peter Pan doesn't want to grow up. Which might seem interesting, being forever young in Neverland.

It is by no means a good thing to be the oldest person at the frat party. It is desperation, masquerading as cool rebelliousness--and there is a touchy despondence and arrogance that goes along with it. It smacks of Neverland. In the same manner, the attractive potential of a directionless but talented twenty-five-year-old starts to look hopeless and pathetic at thirty, and downright past its expiration date at forty. You must sacrifice something of your manifold potential in exchange for something real in life. Aim at something. Discipline yourself. Or suffer the consequence. And what is that consequence? All the suffering of life, with none of the meaning. Is there a better description of hell?
