Message: <blockquote data-quote="MGibster" data-source="post: 9349356" data-attributes="member: 4534">So on the tragedy of living forever:  In the novel Peter Pan, at the end of the novel our fun loving flyboy returns to the real world only to find that Wendy is a grown woman with children of her own.  He doesn't quite understand what he's seeing and Peter is a little scared of her.  We come to learn that Peter barely remembers Tinkerbell and doesn't remember Captain Hook at all.  One day, Peter isn't going to remember who Wendy was.  For anyone who is basically a human being, immortality comes with a price.  Because Peter is perpetually a boy, he can't learn from his experiences because doing so would mean becoming a man.  Peter will never know what it feels like to lose someone he loves because at some point he will simply forget that he ever knew them at all.  In some ways that's worse I think.</blockquote>
