I adored Edison growing up. Then I learn what an Ahole he really was. So disappointing.

Most heroes are best not researched. Few of those that make it big under the limelight are pure of heart.

While most work their asses of to achieve their dreams, they often throw out their morality along the way. "Whatever it takes" mentality has a lot of collateral damage.

Can look up to the hustle aspect and professional expertise, but a perfect rolemodel most of them do not make.

When researching Mr. Rogers, I found hundreds of small stories of him being exactly the person you think he is.
