A quotation from Confucius:

«««««
When you see someone who is worthy, concentrate upon becoming their equal; when you see someone who is unworthy, use this as an opportunity to look within yourself.
[見賢思齊焉、見不賢而內自省也。]
»»»»»

How to write ✍️ , what’s best to read, how to rate objectivity?

“Is an #author stuck in the #bubble of #adoration, working to convince us of the subject’s #worthiness?

Or is the author outside the bubble, assaying the ups & downs, ins & outs, of a famous person with #clarity & #context?” 🤔
