This is a great reply actually and does help to make me feel better. A lot of history's imperfections become lost in the distance. Although I should say that my list of idols is short for this very reason. I don't think I ever imagine that the real people behind historical figures were as perfect as we imagine. I think there's also an argument that we live in a time where a single person's failings have an outsized impact on the broader world because of how quickly their words travel. But the real impact of this is debatable. It's probably been said in every era that "this time is different."
