Imagine if Lance Armstrong, the elite biker, was your role model, what could have been your emotion when you discover that he was doping. This indeed was case the situation for many youngsters. Lance was subjected to medical scrutiny that led to the exposure of reality. Unlike Lance, many of our celebrities are not subjected to such scrutiny of their deeds and characters. In contrast, they are exposed by themselves, through the trail of their own posts on social media and to some extent through social punishers like wikileaks. One can pick the example to convenience. Then whether these are personalities/pages followed/liked by OR abuse, lies, flip-flops, contradictions, quarrels, fake-news posted/tweeted by our colleagues/relatives/politicians/icons, more visible you are on social media, greater is the accessibility to your reality. It teaches lesson, a lesson which is not new as such, but now the realization comes from global experiment in a powerful manner. To judge someone's suitability as your associate in any relevant sense, you must provide free space, just the free space, to let the person express his character in full and the naked truth will be staring at you. Some of my icons/role models got naked in that manner and sooner I learned not be follower of personalities, but of realities.
