The system is one of constant action. If I'm acting, then others are acting as my audience. There are no small roles in America, it is what one does with their role that makes them a star. Role models like Tiger are only good for one role, and with Tiger, that role is golf. Tiger is the greatest golf actor on the planet. There will be more after him, and there have been many before him. Tiger has become great in one particular action, the golf swing, and we love to watch him do that. So when we watch Tiger play golf, we are acting as the observer. We don't watch Tiger do anything else, so we assume that he only plays golf, which is idiotic. Tiger is a human being, just as we all are. Our society is one in which we are pressured to specialize, and yet expected to excel in every role according to certain standards. When only the talented few are the ones playing, and those without talent are watching, a terrible relationship emerges. Those who have, and those who have not. The one's who have talent are watched and paid by those who don't. The one's who don't have talent live a life of grunt work, depression, anxiety, helplessness and dependency. The majority of Americans are angry spectators, throwing beers at the players in jealous desperation. You are sinking into a role that you never intended to stay in. You've began to seriously believe that you are one person and that you will never change. Humans are changlings, we shift and morph and become and destroy ourselves only to recreate ourselves again. "All the world is a stage, and all the people merely actors".

So your saying its ok for Tiger to cheat because he is human? Yeah i agree humans screw up once in awhile but cheating and having affairs with 15 different women is not just one screw up, its 15.....He definitely thought that he would get away with it because he was famous but Karma catches up with everybody...
Applause.
It is a terrible truth that you've brought to light. The discrepency between those with talent and those who don't. Though the few who are paid for their talents seem to outshine the many who don't, the real truth is: everyone has a talent that only they can share their way.
Imagine the beauty the world becomes when everyone embraces the inner, intimate divine... uniquely expressed as the soulprint of their essence.
Thanks for a needed reminder that Tiger's role on stage has not been 'a man who cheats'. He was, and always has been, born into our media as 'a man who plays with unparalleled talent.' As a human, he's also a man with choices to make and a destiny that only he can decide. We respect him for the admiration he deserves, and [should] leave him to live out the rest however he wants... because it's his life, not ours.
When we aren't acting as an audience, we have our own talents to share and roles to play. So let us play them! And let others play theirs. Live and Let Live.

Brilliant, Miles! :)
The seeds are in full bloom.
I do want to make a note though...
Your post isn't really about the wrongs or rights of cheating, but-
The tragedy of infidelity is the dishonesty it's almost always tied to. Polygamy is a choice and rightful in the same regard that any choice can be, no matter preference or opinion. If you want to be that way then be it, if you don't then don't. The breakdown happens when one pretends to be a certain way to meet the needs, wants, or likes of another. The highest treason you can make is dishonesty to thy self. Then it's just a ripple effect from there, hurting everyone in its path.
Tiger has obviously made these choices for awhile....which is fine.... but when he comes home and kisses his wife and kids, probably perpetually telling lies, doesn't it then become unhealthy for everyone involved? Choice is cause and effect. Maybe he couldn't choose which he would rather; the family or the promiscuity. In the end though, it's likely to be one or the other anyway. Except the turn-out this time comes after a lot of heartache and needless drama. What's done in the dark will always be shown in the light. Guaranteed. Just a matter of time...
Oh, deception. Such a disappointing game. Golf is way better.
