Why It Matters

We all have our idols, even after we’re well past an age where such fawning is appropriate.

Granted, at our ages we don’t refer to them as idols, but rather “people we admire” or some such. Some are childhood heroes, others may be politicians, religious figures, or celebrities. Maybe we’re talking about an author whose work we greatly admire. Regardless of whether we’re talking the Dalai Lama or Dolly Parton, there’s somebody on your pedestal.

So here’s the question: If the opportunity to meet that person came along, would you take it? Why or why not? Leave your answer in the comments below, and come on, people: Let’s make Laura B. proud.
