On Deification

I remember in 3rd grade going home in disbelief that my teacher had self-esteem issues. "Surely, Mom, by the time you grow up, a person's learned to deal with other people."

She laughed gently and told me that self-estem is never easily attained.

But we all deify. And that's what I'd been doing to adults. I did it to KISS for a long time. And the concept of rock stardom. For a while, I think I did to sports. And later still to big business. And the media.

But it's all desperation in the end. And we all know it.

Wonder what I deify these days.
