Not the hero we deserve, but the one we need.

God if there was one message I could forcefully implant into society as a whole it's this. Well said.

Don't put anyone on a pedestal. Not politicians, not celebrities', not twitch streamers, not your girlfriend. You can love, respect and even like people, but don't worship anyone, it leaves you blind to their faults and it's a pain in the ass being the one on the pedestal in a relationship.

You can pass people's messages around, and the messages that are not about them but that their presence and actions help spread, without putting them on a pedestal.

Try it for once. It's fun.
