ln -s permissions

This may be something simple stupid, however I cant seem to find any documentation on it.
With a sym link to a file or directory regardless of the permissions of that file or directory you end up with full permissions (777) on the sym link. Why is that or what am I missing that would mean I'm not seeing what I think I'm seeing?
ls -l for the symlink returns
lrwxrwxrwx
ls -l on the original returns
-rw-rw-r--

You might want to read the manpage symlink(2).
