Why should you care about the routines of anyone who achieved greatness?

Even if you don't agree with the Pope's religion, you can admire his work ethic/drive/charisma/etc. to become the head of an organization with a billion members.

Similarly, the Dalai Lama has won a Nobel Peace Prize, congressional gold medal (highest civilian honor), honorary citizenships and doctorates. Nobody's forcing you to pay attention to someone extraordinary.

What if I recognize all of those things as essentially useless and find them worthy of derision, not praise?

Not saying I do, but not saying I don't

Then you ignore it and move on.
