Nadezda,
You make a good point and express it beautifully. We humans do like to idealize. Sometimes it's to our detriment, as in elevating someone else at your own expense or to avoid seeing them as they are. But idealizing important people in our lives certainly can put a sparkle into those relationships and make life a little warmer and more exciting.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Lucie
p.s. for a self-professed pessimist, you have some lovely thoughts! :)
