Simplified Meaning:
Believing someone is more than just a person can be dangerous because it sets unrealistic expectations. For example, when we think our heroes or idols are perfect, we might be disappointed when they make mistakes. Everyone has flaws, and expecting perfection can lead to misunderstandings and hurt feelings. It's important to remember that everyone is human, capable of both good and bad. By keeping realistic views of others, we avoid putting them on pedestals and can accept their imperfections. This way, our relationships with them can be more genuine and less likely to lead to disappointment.
