The moment i realized who my role model is.

Good day, amazing people of the Hive Blockchain. Welcome back to my blog. It is another edition in the #hiveghana community. I am so delighted to participate in this week's prompts that moment of reality.

There is nobody who does not have someone to look up to, people who inspire and motivate us. When it comes to people who we look up to, we see them as people who are perfect; whatever they do is right. I have some people I look up to, and they have really helped to inspire and motivate me and taught me the things I need to know about life. I can never disrespect whoever I look up to.

One thing is sure: whenever you are looking up to someone, you will be blind to notice their error because you so much trust them and hold them in high esteem, and when they break the trust, it is very painful because this is someone you look up to and you believe in.

Right from my university I have someone I look up to; I admire and respect him. I love his personality, and the way he pictures life makes me look up to him more. If I must say, I practically worship him because he was so good to me; he believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. He kept pushing me to make sure I became the better version of myself.

I keep hearing rumours that he is abusing the wife. People keep talking bad about him at work, and each time I come across people talking bad about him, I keep defending him because he is someone I look up to, someone I trust, and I can never believe that he can be abusive to the wife.

The rumour kept spreading, and every single time the rumour came up, I kept defending my role model. I was very ready to defend him everywhere, saying that he could never do such a thing. Not until I visited my role model in this house unannounced. That was when I realised that it was not just a rumour; he was really abusing the wife. Coming from someone I trust is something I can’t just understand. I have to step out of the house to check if I am in the right flat, and lo and behold, I am in the right flat. I was so disappointed that someone I look up to would be abusing the wife.

I stared at my boss, not believing my eyes. Even in my wildest dream, I can’t believe it’s coming from someone I trust so much. Realising that my so-called role model is abusing the wife is something I can’t stand. This really made me lose my respect for him. I started seeing him differently, and whatever respect I had for him started fading away.

Whenever I remember that he abused the wife, I stop looking up to him, and my respect for him drops immediately.
