adoration

Description

Adoration is the art of obliterating every flaw of another, idealizing them to embellish one’s own vanity. It often becomes a ritual of praising a chosen idol to affirm one’s own existence. At its core, it is a performance to fill a hollow craving for admiration. The more fervent the worship, the sharper the blade of potential disillusionment. Ultimately, it is a pact between ego and illusion.
