WOW Fuzzybear what a profound statement!

If you differentiate between putting someone on a pedestal, and showing them regard, respect and acceptance for their position is life, then YES I agree!

People are human (DUH!) and therefore, imperfect. Placing someone up above the rest only gives them farther to fall. It places stress upon them to be perfect, to succeed (assuming they know they've been placed there...) AND it shatters the person's confidence (of who put them there) when the other falls.
