Question: If I raise someone up on a platform and they fall, is it my fault or did I set the platform steady enough!?
If he jumped off, is that still your fault!? Why did I make him a platform, and isn't he like me to stand on level ground, so no accidents will happen!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Doing that is always a very risky venture to begin with!. Both of you are at fault!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it is dangerous to put any human on a pedestal, it is bound to end up in pain for someone!. we are just humans, so we are fallible, and imperfect!. we can not live up to others expectations, every second of every day, no matter how hard you try, someone will find fault!. or be hurt by their expectations of the one on the pedestalWww@QuestionHome@Com

I'll tell you a little secret!.

I was all set to vote for my candidate for president and they gave a speech about a week before the election!. When they were done speaking, I was very moved and actually BELIEVED what they told me!.

That's why I didn't vote for him!.

When I start believing people on TV I am SCREWED!.

Never never put anyone on a pedestal!. As John Lennon sang,
"Think for yourself cause I won't be there with you!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

Some will say yes some will say no!. I say did the person have a choice!? If you put him on a pedestal by his wish then it is both of your fault!. You should not have helped him yet at the same time it was his fault for wanting it!. Neither can truly be held responsible by the others faults!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you raise someone on a platform and they fall it is your fault!.
Because you put them there!.
I don't know why you make him a platform!.
He is just human, any human can fall off a platform if it isn't steady enough!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

He shouldn't try to overextend his ability to balance, and you shouldn't build faulty platformsWww@QuestionHome@Com
