=_= first off, you can't miss somebody you've never met. I like their work, I am saddened that they are dead, but I don't miss them. I never knew them. All I know of them is what someone else told me. It's like saying that ypu miss your great great great grandfather. Sure he's your family and hey, you might have heard some good things about him. But you never knew him (reasonably speaking. I'm assuming your great great great grandfather didn't live to ridiculously old.)

Second off, while these people did a lot of good, calling them a personification of good is overtly romanticized nonsense. They all had their darker sides. They all had off days. And they've all fucked up. Ghandi in particular did some fucked up shit.

Try being a bit more practical and realistic about these things.
