The more you consider someone a Hero the higher the pedestal you place them on.
The higher the pedestal, the less room they have to move.
Soon your greatest hero is on the highest pedestal and cannot move at all.
A couple of friends were gathered.
At one point someone was upset by one word said.
His response was “Why do you put me on a pedestal so high you are upset over one word I say.”
Someone you know and respect makes a silly mistake and that lowers them in your eyes.
Lowers them from what to what?
Think of an ordinary person doing exactly the same thing. That’s OK.
Why then is it “not OK” for everyone to do the very same thing.
Because you have come to expect ‘more’ from that person.
Why?
Well because they are … and then you mention something they truly are good at.
As if that explains why they must be good at everything.
Pedestal time.
When do you realize your parents are simply human beings?
Or your leaders? Religious or otherwise.
Rather than place a Hero back on a pedestal, accept them for who they are.

132 Taking it Personally – 146 Always Right Plus vous considérez quelqu’un comme un héros, plus vous le placez haut sur un piédestal.
Plus le piédestal est haut, moins ils ont d’espace pour bouger.
Bientôt votre plus grand héros est sur le piédestal le plus haut et il ne peut plus bouger du tout.
Quelques amis étaient réunis.
À un moment donné, quelqu’un était dérangé par un mot qui a été dit.
Sa réponse était ”Pourquoi me mets-tu sur un piédestal si haut que tu es dérangé par un mot que je dis”.
Quelqu’un que vous connaissez et respectez fait une erreur idiote et cela le rabaisse à vos yeux.
Les rabaissez de où à où?
Pensez à une personne ordinaire faisant exactement la même chose. C’est OK.
Alors pourquoi n’est-ce pas OK pour chaque personne de faire exactement la même chose.
Parce que vous en êtes venu à attendre ‘plus’ de cette personne.
Pourquoi?
Et bien, parce qu’ils sont …. et ensuite vous mentionnez quelque chose à laquelle ils sont réellement bons.
Comme si cela pouvait expliquer pourquoi ils doivent être bons dans tout.
Le temps des piédestaux.
Quand réalisez-vous que vos parents sont simplement des êtres humains.
Ou vos dirigeants? Religieux ou autres.
Plutôt que de replacer un héros sur un piédestal, acceptez-les pour ce qu’ils sont.
Essayez-le!
