A pedestal (from French piédestal, Italian piedistallo, "foot of a stall") or plinth is the support of a statue or a vase.
Although in Syria, Asia Minor and Tunisia the Romans occasionally raised the columns of their temples or propylaea on square pedestals, in Rome itself they were employed only to give greater importance to isolated columns, such as those of Trajan and Antoninus, or as a podium to the columns employed decoratively in the Roman triumphal arches.
The architects of the Italian revival, however, conceived the idea that no order was complete without a pedestal, and as the orders were by them employed to divide up and decorate a building in several stories, the cornice of the pedestal was carried through and formed the sills of their windows, or, in open arcades, round a court, the balustrade of the arcade. They also would seem to have considered that the height of the pedestal should correspond in its proportion with that of the column or pilaster it supported; thus in the church of Saint John Lateran, where the applied order is of considerable dimensions, the pedestal is 13 feet (4.0 m) high instead of the ordinary height of 3 to 5 feet (1.5 m).

Why putting other people on a pedestal whether it be lovers, friends, co-workers, guru's, etc., opens you up to manipulation and being taken advantage of. What to do instead so the right people and circumstances show up and stay unconditionally.

The story of one of the truly epic events in the history of naval warfare. The survival of Malta was the vital hinge upon which turned the whole Allied strategy in the Mediterranean Theatre of war. This film describes how a vital convoy was forced through to relieve the valiant island of Malta, despite appalling losses. I do not claim copyright for any of this material.
El siguiente gran problema relacionado con lo que aprendiste en el capítulo anterior, donde te expliqué qué es lo que las mujeres quieren, es que muchos hombres ponen a la mujer en un pedestal. O sea, que colocan a las mujeres encima de todas las cosas. Recuerda lo que te dije, lo único que vas a lograr si tratas de ‘’comprar’’ a una mujer por medio de regalos, poemas de amor, flores, o cenas costosas, poniéndola en un pedestal y tratándola como una princesa, es verte como su sirviente. Yo sé que va en contra de todo lo que te enseñaron, pero de nuevo, si estás aquí es porque sabes que lo que te enseñaron está mal. Y te voy a explicar por qué: En estas épocas toda mujer sabe que cuando un hombre le compra regalos, le dice cosas como ‘’eres la mujer más guapa que conozco’’, o la invita a c...
How can I believe this miracle
Where the wind blows dry
Thru the force of a man
Undenied by his eye
You abandoned me
How I suffer
Ridicule breathes a sigh
You abandoned me
Lost forever
Hush, can you hear.....
Enter and rejoice this pedestal
Where the rainbows hide
Your destiny
Mystery of all time
No time make or reason
Ridicule breathes a sigh
No time make or reason
Hush, hear him cry....
No time, make or reason
No time, make or reason
