When Role Models Fall From The Role....

I know it is completely silly at my age and with my experience to actually have role models and expect them to perform a certain role and when they don't - feel little disappointed. Because I believe, by now i have learnt - in life - no person, no relationship, no situation is perfect and there is no need for perfection as well...we are good with our little human errors.

But i do feel disappointed:-(...completely silly!!!

Well it has happened right from the childhood...have seen teachers who were the role models falling from the role...then started looking upto strong, independent women with a career of their choice and a mind of their own...but they didn't sustain themselves for too long. Saw them become weak and embarrassing especially when it came to man (in their life or in their imagination).

But question that comes to my mind is - is it fair to put someone on a pedestal and expect them to perform a certain role specially when they have never claimed that status...sometimes my young cousins or some colleagues try making me one. Which leaves me completely sweating especially knowing the disappointment of role models falling from grace...and ofcourse the un-necessary responsibility and work that it brings in...

So i would say - bad idea it is to make role models out of normal people and expect them to deliver on your expectations...and then feel disappointed too...STOP IT NOW!!!
