Placed on a Pedestal
. . . a human foible
I don’t know about you
but I have a tendency to
put people on a pedestal
(… not a good idea!)
When someone really
pleases or impresses me
I set them head and shoulders
above everyone else that I know
— and yes, you guessed it . . .
I set them way up high there
. . . up on that mighty pedestal!
But always they end up getting
knocked down off the pedestal
. . . not by me, but by themselves
Of course they never know
that they were up high on
a pedestal in the first place
That’s because I never tell them
— it’s just a part of my own mind
. . . a creation of my imagination
In reality no one can stay on top of
a pedestal for any length of time
because we are all ‘perfectly
imperfect’ human beings
We ultimately belong on the ground
living out our lives in full daily action
. . . not standing inertly on top of a pedestal!
