Kind of scary, isn't it?

We want our leaders to be grand and glorious. Magical. Bigger than life. Able to make us believe in the impossible. But turns out, we want too much. Our leaders probably are just as ordinary as the rest of us. Just as vulnerable. Yet, we glorify many of 'em. Put 'em on a pedestal. Or we allow our leaders to disappoint us. Because we wanted them to be more than what they are. Instead, they're just like us. Kind of scary, isn't it? --Jim Broede
