Return of Peter Pan - by Kasia Turajczyk

Do we really have to give up our dreams and allow society to rule our lives? It starts from the moment that we are born: "You have to do so, you have to behave in this way, you can't say that, you can't do that, don't look like that, don't move, don't cry, don't laugh, don't think, don't breath".
Lying is wrong, but telling the truth isn't good, either. When you grow up, society expects you to have a job, to make money, to find a partner to reproduce new offspring and after that, do the same to them that your parents did to you; program them.

For thousands of years, humans have agreed to be and do so without guaranteeing that our lives will be better, happier or healthier. The primitive instinct to procreate and the other strong instinct; to stay alive occupy the humans' minds.    It is encoded in our universal DNA even if we know we all die, eventually, and our death is often despicable and undeserved.
We are working with persistence to develop new technologies, to make our lives easier but at the same time to destroy each other with more sophistication. We created a kind of civilisation, but it is very primitive. To be true, we didn't change as homo sapience much in the last 10000 years. Wars, conflicts, exploitation, slavery, deceptions, envy, propaganda, jealousy and all surrounding fear control our existence.
The best way to survive in this world is to find your inner child and escape into that reality; hide there and wait till the end of your life.
Puella Aeterna and puer Aeternus are the heroes of my "Peter Pan" series.  

This is not a Paradise - by Kasia Turajczyk.

I think that becoming a mature person isn't a synonym for better. Definitely, it doesn't mean a better life. To stay a child forever is only the possible alternative to survive in this horrible world. Contrary to the physiologists' arguments……..Live Long Peter Pan! Voilà
