Not embarrassed by him at all. He’s a wonderful man. Put your pretend-to-be-a-psychologist act back in the box it came in.
I said "You have a guilty conscience, are embarrassed by being inspired by him, and took it as criticism."
Note the subtle difference between an accurate description and an attack. I don't condemn you for being inspired by him. Example: In one case, he picked up a phone, and called someone. Although Popes in the recent past tended to have people do things like that for them, he did it himself. That may be a step in the right direction, or could be a poor use of his time, but inspirational? I do it several times a day, and when I do it, it isn't thought of as inspirational, so I don't find it particularly inspirational in someone else. Running 100 meters in 10 seconds for an older gentleman may be inspirational, but picking up a phone I find less so. You are free to think differently than I, based on your different expectations and background.
