I meant that anyone who becomes a public figure, especially one who is imparting self-help, spiritual, religious etc. material runs the risk of being "followed" rather than just being the instrument by which the information was offered. I don't know why, but humans have a tendency to adulate and give their power over to others. This is a burden on the persons being adulated, which must be accepted as part of the act of being of service in this way.
Yes, I agree. Many public figures revel in that. It becomes an ego thing for them. Not so for Carla.
...which makes it all the more disturbing when people put her in that position, especially when it's ridiculous things and not even her admirable traits, of which she has many.
