On the 20th, I watched Peter Pan for the first time, and lamented.
The endless fight between Pan and Hook is that fight I wrote of on New Years: the Fight between Pan and Cupid. Though the names are switched a bit, it did not surprise me when I researched further that Hook and Pan were initially a single character, only divided later on.
This is, in Peter Pan, not only a fight between love and hate, but between youth and age. In our personalities, this occurs as Puer et Senex the young boy and the old man, in one person.
This has been my complex. A bizarre vacillation between what others have said is “wisdom”, “strength” and all the other kind names, and a profound immaturity and childishness.
I see this duality contained in the name of a Great Sage, Laozi: 老子, literally
“old child”
Lao: An old man with a cane
Zi: A little child
This of course led to 子 taking on both meanings, Child and Master, or Sage.
It is also the character for God the Son.
