Quote by Lauryn Hill

Since those who believe they need a hero/celebrity outnumber the actual heroes/celebrities, people feel safe and comfortably justified in numbers, committing egregious crimes in the name of the greater social ego. Ironically diminishing their own true hero-celebrity nature in the process.

Since those who believe they need a hero/celebrity outnumber

Summary

This quote suggests that there is a tendency for people to idolize heroes and celebrities, often placing them on pedestals and relying on them for guidance and inspiration. However, the quote highlights a paradox in this behavior, as the majority of individuals who idolize these figures outweigh the actual number of heroes and celebrities. In doing so, people feel some level of safety and validation in their collective actions, even when these actions might involve committing or supporting harmful acts. By blindly following and justifying such behaviors, individuals unknowingly diminish their own potential to become heroes or celebrities in their own right.
