About humanizing people more

Do you ever feel diminished in the presence of someone you admire a lot? When we compare ourselves, we may end up believing that a person is much smarter or much better at a certain point than we are. This comparison that we've learned to impose on ourselves can be extremely destructive.

It's great to be aware that we are unique, and you can't compare unique beings. Each has its own characteristics, its potencies, its abilities and purposes in life. And it's okay not to be awesome at who the people we so admire are. We are certainly amazing in other ways.

It's wonderful to admire people, be inspired by them and grow with the lessons we can learn from them. What is unhealthy is to feel small, worse, useless, incapable, worthless, because we feel that we are not as good at something as someone we compare ourselves to.

Let's get these people off the pedestals we've placed them as soon as possible. May this expectation thrown over them not be a weight on their shoulders and on our shoulders. Let's make people more human. Nobody needs a model to follow. Inspirations are very welcome, but not demands, hardships and repressions.

Let this constructed vision come out of us that someone who inspires is someone perfect. There is no one perfect. As Osho says, "we are perfectly imperfect." In every person there is something to be inspired, to learn and to share.

That we can look at each other and at ourselves as the human beings we are, with mistakes, successes, accidents, falls, relapses, learnings, growths, ups and downs, sadness and joys.,,

No exaggerated demands for someone or ourselves to be models to be followed, people “of spotless reputation”, true “citizens of good”. After all, what is this if not models invented by our society of criticism, consumption, castration, repression, interested in us being under control, being just another piece, a number part of the system?

I believe it is worth the reflection. Every time we're comparing ourselves and feeling smaller than someone else, let's humanize them. We are all people, we are unique, we are capable, and none of us is better or worse than the other. Let's get rid of the comparison, the charge that we must meet a certain standard to be accepted. Acceptance arises from us first, then no charge will have any further effect on us.
