Teams win championships, not one player. No one likes to focus on an entire team, so they look for a hero. Put on a high pedestal that hero can do no wrong. The perfectionist with the squeaky clean record. They instilled it in them from young to be great, to never produce a mistake. The same teachers who made mistakes themselves didn’t tell their pupils that mistakes were indeed possible or that you can learn from your mistakes. The rule is when you make a mistake, they forget all the good you have done. Also, when you don’t support their ideal formula, you’re looked at as the outcast, the black sheep. They think someone is brainwashing you. Maybe it’s the company you keep your friends, your partner. Something must be wrong with you, maybe you didn’t follow the map they followed as kids passed down from generation to generation. They don’t tell you that the hero has failed more times than many. Failure prepared them to be great. Pain gave them strength, and tough skin. Heartbreak made them love and appreciate love even more than they have before. Betrayal and false accusations showed the hero to forgive and understand the process. At one point, the hero was the villain that was the learning process to build the hero.
