I have no idea where did I exactly get the idea to create a vlog about this topic, but if you observe our society from a "distance" you will notice that people like to have idols, and like to put their idols on the special "throne"... They can be presidents, CEOs, famous singers, models, sportspersons, actors, you name it...
Just think about it a bit deeper... Did you catch yourself sometimes that you are debating with your friends about some politician? And you (or your friend) would defend that "celebrity", like you defending your mother or your child? If the answer is yes, you should maybe put your finger on your forehead and think is it worth doing it...
I mean, does some big "celebrity" needs YOU to defend her drug-addiction? Or, the reason why he/she smokes? Or wear something at the concert? Is that really worth your time? And, what do you get in return by blindly follow that person? Are you happier if "she" changes the hairstyle for the next concert?
These are just general examples of "worshipping" your idols... The word "idol" is a bit hard to swallow, but you can use maybe something softer, but you can fall into the same trap, without going into a "global scale"... You should avoid "IDOLS creation"... What does that mean?
Let us try to move all this to the "local" sphere... We have a community here on Hive, or LBRY, or any other network... Between our followers, friends, and other members we have favorite creators/authors... Personally, I have dozens of them, but I don't perceive them as my IDOLS... I consider them as my friends, in the first place...
They are maybe better than me, as persons, or as authors, or they are more creative than me, more intelligent... That really doesn't matter, as I don't consider myself inferior to them... I appreciate their work, their way of life, or whatever else, but if I consider myself less valuable, I will fall in a trap and MAKE them as my IDOLS!
By doing that, I will lose my power... I will put some invisible limits to myself, and I will be left in a ditch limiting my growth...
