and others who feel like him maintain (or try to) the illusion
that they're above it all, achieving a kind of weird
sterility devoid of most humanity or any real emotions.
And, of course, never having come face-to-face with the
object of your herofication (Hey,I think I just made
up a word!) is very convenient. Why deal with reality when
you can live in fantasyland instead?
