this may be just me, but i prefer to keep my mentors and other people of high esteem at a distance. i forget that they are humans too and are a lot of times much more fucked or unintelligible than most people which is why they are usually capable of works of genius. it seems almost like the blind person whose ears become hyper sensitive. they seem to compensate for some part(s) of their lives they are less than adequate in, is focused towards creation of words, thoughts, or other creations the rest of us marvel at.
i was talkin to my brother last night about E. Poe and how it took a life of mysery to create his writings. he never even had the minute relief from adoring fans or people who "understood" his work. i dunno that's just kinda strange to me.
but wouldn't it be nice if somebody just had patience and really listened to Poe? EVERYBODY is lacking in some areas, and everybody requires a certain amount of patince and understanding.
sometimes if you are silent enough, you can accept peoples faults because of their outweighing qualities of greatness.
its not like they are unaware of their lacking, nor that they do not try to better themselves, and maybe they are just wired that way. Maybe there can be a common ground, a place where two people meet and share an understanding, despite all of eachother's faults.
