At first I sort of laughed at your analogy, but then I got to think about it, I know people that gave up jobs, moved houses wrecked relationships etc to be near and train with their master. Who happily spend thousands on pounds on grading and special courses, buy clothes etc to look like there master and move like them… some even take to talking like them. They start to believe they are almost a mystical being have all the answers and that they can do no wrong. When you look at it like that their is no difference between the two... which is very sad
