An idol is a man-made object that is worshipped in some way. TheFreeDictionary.com defines
Idol as an image used as an object of worship or a false god
. Idol
is also defined as ’an entity that is adored, often blindly or excessively
or as something visible but without substance’. In some way, idol is like
a picture or a photograph of a person that is used as a substitute of the
person. Idol represents the body of the entity that is visible to the senses
particularly the eyes. However, a living entity like man is far more than his
picture. Picture is the representation of the person only at given point of
time in a given situation.
