Summary
This quote suggests that it is common for individuals to idealize or place those they deeply admire on a pedestal. When we have strong feelings of adoration or infatuation towards someone, we tend to overlook their flaws, shortcomings, and ordinary attributes, instead focusing on their admirable qualities. We might glorify their actions, personalities, or physical appearances, creating an idealized version of them in our minds. However, it is important to recognize that everyone is human and has imperfections, and it is necessary to strike a balance between appreciating someone and keeping a realistic perspective.
