Admiration is great. It allows you to bond in a way you otherwise wouldn't have been able to do. Yet it's not so much the admiration itself that makes all the difference but the reason behind it that allows for an amazing partnership. People don't admire for the sake of admiring. Like love, admiration is not something you can fake.

It may be difficult to spot potentially dangerous hero worship because it can often be disguised as the everyday respect and admiration we endow on apparently outstanding leaders. Such adoration is a mutual relationship with distortion on both sides, where a person's need for admiration is fuelled by the need of admirers to see their leader as exceptional. Such admirers often have dependent personalities whose craving for emotional security blurs their perceptions of a leader's limits and capabilities.
