We need to be more discerning in who we idolize. A good teacher, a good parent, someone who strives to do a job well--these are the folks we should value & emulate. To idolize persons because they are a performers, a sports figures, etc. is just asking to be disillusioned. Each of us has opportunities each day to be a hero for someone else. The old saw--bloom where you're planted--ain't half-bad.
