Don’t look up to anybody

The reason you keep being disappointed and caught up in the fake shock at some scandal is that everybody you look up to is human. Being human means that they struggle with some version of the same things you struggle with. It’s all struggle and failure, every attempt to make something of your life, to accomplish what few men have accomplished before you, involves fighting with the fact that you would much rather be surfing porn or having a threesome with your boss’s daughter and her mom than doing it.

People are human and thus liable to do stupid shit at any moment. Even “great” people, of which there have been none in your lifetime. The answer is simply not to expect a whole lot from anybody, not to worship people who may or may not jack off to anime in the privacy of their bedroom.
