I get really nervous
when someone states
they admire X person.
Because that person
has flaws.
EVERY person on this planet
is flawed.
We all have issues,
faults,
bad stances on some things.
I admire people’s actions.
I admire X person’s kindness
toward me
or toward specific people.
I admire their views
on specific things.
I don’t know their views
on EVERYTHING.
I don’t know how they treat people
when I’m not around them.
I don’t know what secret projects
they’ve been working on.
Admire the actions,
not the person.
