Are role models are most reliable when you don't know them completely? Every human being is flawed. So, when idolizing one, if you hope to keep the benefits of having a role model, is it best to keep your distance? When viewing a piece of art, do you view it from a distance to appreciate its beauty, or do you put it under a microscope to discover all those things within that painting that aren't as beautiful as you hoped? Is this expectation fair?
