Putting people on a pedestal ?

Lets begin this article with a story!

Once upon a time
 there was a naive dude 
who did not know much about the world 
or the happenings in it

One day he met a fellow who seemed well leveled
and quite an interesting person to share an intellectual conversation with

little by little 
there were a lot in common 
and there was a share of great conversation all along

little by little
things were discovered about this fellow person

little by little
new behaviors started to come up 

little by little 
this fellow started showing his true colors!

and they were certainly not pleasant colors

There was a great deal of apple polishing 
thinking that it was normal but it was wrong!

There was a great deal of admiration 
to a degree of honoring on a pedestal
which was also wrong!

however the mistake was done 
and it was conceded that 
this person was put on a pedestal 
but it was his wrong place!

Have you ever get that sort of situation?
Where a nice person comes along and you 

Act nice with them (Although it is fishy)
Treat them with love (Although they do not deserve it)

Yes we stumble upon that sort of people from time to time
Nice on the outside but questionable on the inside

But the main lesson one learns is that

NEVER
put a person on a pedestal no matter how well you think you may know them!

you may think that they are nice!
you may think that they are trustworthy
you may think many things

but never ever put them up!

it all comes down to the right expectations towards people

BUT

never ever put them on a pedestal!
only to know that they will fall is only heart wrenching moment.

You do what you need to do which is be nice!
but that is all that you can do from your side.

Good luck!
