True. It's easier to love from a distance as it adds a lot of idealisation. Which is great as it shows a potential of creation of ideal personality for him/herself. If the person can see it that way with a slice of healthy irony and still keep the vision and ideals - all the best. One day it may become useful: you're elected and have to pass this vision to those who doesn't see.

Maybe - I was rather thinking of the passive process that leads you to assume a concept of who you are relative to your culture/ethnicity. This can happen whether you are home or abroad - I mean you can idealise it here at home too, but not really be aware you are doing it.

As for being elected, are you harbouring any intentions/ambitions we should know about? ;)
