A work conversation led me to think of our idealization of undeserving idols. I started thinking that we should never get too close to our idols, because the closer we get the more we realize how flawed and humane they are; and that realization eventually leads to disappointment and the dimness of what once gave them spotlight in our eyes.
I think a pedestal is created not to place them above, but instead to put them in a place where we can't inspect them keenly; in order to come to terms with the reality that they are quite ordinary except for that one aspect that we highlighted so greatly that we neglected everything else that came in the package.

thank youuuu!!
i always think of this
is there really someone out there who can stand up to their own standards without disappointing?
its in our minds
the glorification of a false truth
we do it to ourselves :(
Thats why people shouldnt have preconceived notions of one another. Even with celebrities, you should think of them as normal people. It gives everyone an even playing field
