The messengers are usually flawed, but the message is good. Same with so many other things which can positively enhance our perspective: comedy, art, music. The messengers are one of us, and while they’ve often glimpsed a possibility most of us haven’t seen, they’re still bound by the same limitations of humanity the rest of us experience. Their message can be guideposts toward a better existence, even if their examples fall short. Finger pointing at the moon, and all that.
