The greater light you have, the greater shadow you often cast, C.G. Jung said. Maybe this is why Peter is consistently presented as a flawed and ordinary human being, while still proclaimed by Jesus to be a rock. Ordinary men and women can and should serve as our mentors. They need to be spotted, sought out, and supported as such. We need to set up our own "Tuesdays with Morrie," as times to be taught, and not wait for experts or official classes. The search for the perfect is usually the enemy of the truly good. You can take that as an axiom for all of life.
