Do INFP love Peter Pan/The Little Prince more than the average human?

Fine line. Don't want to take their books away, but they shouldn't be let down so hard…

Yeah, that's true. Still, I wonder if the world could be a better place if more people were childlike at heart...

A high idea that may never be achieved in our lifetime.

Yeah - I suppose. :(

You can make your own little piece of the world like that if you work at it, and talk with a handful of other people who share that goal. Pool enough money together, and you can create a tiny oasis in your town or neighborhood of unconditional love. The team is vital, though. Do you have many friends?

Peter Pan was OK. I liked it, but I wasn't any more of a fan than the average kid. :shrug: And I've never read The Little Prince.

Pure escapism wasn't enough to really capture my imagination. I like dark and twister stuff or offbeat humour - that and kiddie detective novels.

Okay :D

Hmm... well, there are many people whom I'm friendly with, but very few friends whom I trust.

Peter pan feels like xSFP whereas Little prince feels like INFP. Peter pan irritates me a bit whereas I want little prince to be happy and fare well.

Team up with your close friends, especially. They will be your most powerful allies in making your dreams come true.

Peter Pan is an SP in an NF world (neverland).

I don't think The Little Prince is sugary and I don't think it's escapist in the same way that Peter Pan could be considered escapist. In fact, I think The Little Prince has a healthy dose of cynicism and truth to it. I think that escaping or living through stories is different than finding catharsis or expanding your world view through them.

I read Peter Pan as a kid and liked it but I was never overly fond of it and it didn't stick with me. I loved The Little Prince though. It excited me and made me sad.

The best part of Peter Pan was undoubtedly when he unknowingly killed his father and wed his own mother.

;) Thank you. What I said is true, though. Big things start small.

:shock: I don't remember reading that part in Peter and the Shadow Thieves.
