The Infidelity of Tiger Woods

Wasn’t it not too long ago we had a president accused of infidelity? And let’s not forget about other celebrities like A-Rod, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant who received quite a bit of media exposure regarding their transgressions. What about certain religious leaders who themselves were placed in the limelight due to their infidelities. Ted Haggard, Pastor, admitted to having a relationship with a male member in his congregation in January of this year and this after previously having admitted to other infidelities. Jim Bakker, Marvin Gorman both televangelists who’s infidelities was exposed by a fellow televangelist, Jimmy Swaggart.  Swaggart himself was later exposed to also be guilty of his own adulterous indiscretions with a prostitute.  So much for not throwing rocks if you live in a glass house. But anyway the point being, religious leaders themselves have failed to walk the straight and narrow so to speak, and yet we expect it of others.

If we continue too look to others to uphold our moral standards, we will always face disappointment.  Let’s stop placing so much responsibility on the shoulders of others to market and uphold our standards and values.  We should all try and manifest morals and values we can pass on to our children, not waiting for someone else to set the example.  
 
WHY DO CELEBRITIES CHEAT?

The fact that a great number of celebrities, sports stars, wealthy and famous personalities, along with politicians and other high profile public figures have been found to cheat on their spouses, makes one wonder why? You would think with such a seemly perfect life there would be no reasons for cheating.  However, research shows that their reasons for cheating are the same as ordinary people.

Some of those reasons include simply feeding their egos, succumbing to the pressure of friends to go for it, along with possibly wanting to do different things that the mate might not want to do.  Then there are those cases of cheating caused simply because the opportunity was there and the thought that they just might be able to get away with it.  Whatever the reasons, the outcome has always been disastrous for all involved but more so for the spouse or mate. 

How sad it is for Tiger Woods and all the other celebrities who seemly had a near perfect life and placed it all in jeopardy simply because they did not take the time to think before making a decision they would probably regret for the rest of their lives.   However, a look at the past shows that we have always proven to be a forgiving public, allowing the individual to overcome the consequences of his indiscretions and bounce back.  Hopefully, this will be the case with Tiger.
