Why does anyone think they are immune?
Why would anyone (who has the historical perspective of what happens when you do not keep your vows) go ahead and have an adulterous affair anyway?
I have an opinion. Everyone is capable of doing anything given the right circumstances, or triggers. We are both the best of and the worst of humanity. Adultery is almost a given potentiality when a person has a vanity problem, a superiority complex, or simply believes they can do whatever.
I remember commentary once about why Tiger would want to date a “blond-haired white girl” and the response was because he could. It did not appear to be a racial commentary but a factual one. That seemed almost to be an omen of what was to come. How many egos have felt they could do anything they wanted? Many.
How many times have we heard of athletes not being accountable, not to themselves or their families, nor to the people who pay for their efforts, for their product endorsements. It should be a given that public figures like Tiger present the best values and ideals to people, since they are advocates for and to so many people. Most especially their impact on the children who revere them as a role model (for the life and qualities they aspire to possess).
News broke today (from Tiger) that he has had affairs, one for years. The highest paid, most competitive, “pressure composed” person in professional sports “is only human”, “is not perfect”, “regrets tremendously what has happened”.
I remember reading about this guy Solomon who had the same problem - vanity.
Damn Tiger, I can hardly believe the news.
