I think it's ok to look up to our peers.

I also think it's wise to remember that heroes are flawed beings like the rest of us are, and that their flaws inevitably will be prominently displayed...

No one is perfect.

@Oneironott Honestly, I think it's overall a good thing. It teaches us not to assume people are 100% good and pure just because they did a good thing.

That kind of logic is exactly why we have a narcissist in the white house right now. They prey on that loophole. If they make a big media presentation about doing good work and then quietly do terrible things in the background, the cognitive dissonance encourages folks to just assume the bad stuff didn't really happen.
