That having been said. If we're all willing to pretend that we don't emulate/idolize others, then count me out. I may be misusing a few words when I say idolize, but then, what I am saying is that we are built from and by other people. Does no one know about Identification...my god, has no one read Freud? It happens regardless of anyone's distaste for it! It disrespects your disrespect for it and pretending that it does not occur precludes the thinking man from trying to direct it or steer it to sources that are positive.

Those are more influences than idolization, and I have to say, I haven't had much of that in my life >_> obviously a bit, else I'd be...dead. Though, perhaps that's what influenced me to HATE emulating people.
