Why do we keep things on a pedestal?

Firstly putting something on a pedestal is meaning that the thing is above you. It is superior to you. It can be a life status, a possession, a person, or a celebrity. The reason why we keep these on the pedestal is,

1. We are far away from that thing. If we are far away, we don’t know their true nature but what we do is imagine the thing as superior and keep it on a pedestal.
2. We think it has more value. We are conditioned to think that if outer appearance is superior inner should be like this. But it is not true.
3. We have a fear of losing that thing. So we care about it more which brings it to the pedestal.

So how to take these things off the pedestal?

1. Keep in mind that all things have value and nothing is highly important than the other. Take decisions based on that.
2. Accept the fact that nothing is permanent and live with that mindset. Enjoy the things you have at this moment and don’t think about the future.
3. Remember keeping things on a pedestal doesn’t do any good. So why on a pedestal?
