2010.01.21 On the Pitfalls of Admiration

Admiration is the furthest thing from understanding – Aizen, Bleach

When you are so swept up in an emotion such as Admiration you often neglect to question anything being said or done by the object of your attention. You lose your ability to think or see critically, if at all, reality. That is not to say one should not admire another, but never to such a degree that it hinders your ability to think clearly and for yourself.
