For years Tiger eluded the snooping press.His commitment to living his private life away from the public eye further fuelled the desperation of the ferocious tabloids, and the appetite of the mindless masses for some sensational reports on Tigers flaws.After years of chasing the elusive Tiger,the dirt-press eventually caught up with him.The result-news on Tigers adulterous sexcapades.It never ceases to amaze me how we can hail a celebrity one day and nail them the next.Maybe we have a had time accepting the flaws of people we've once revered.We make Gods of Men without their permission.And when they cant live up to that God-ness we nail them to a cross.Even artists like Whitney Houston,Britney Spears and Michael Jackson where not spared from this crucifixion. I make no excuses for Tigers behaviour but i do empathise with him.Its easy to just approach this scandal from the surface and draw a quick conclusion.But look closer and you might learn a lesson or two.Here's a guy who's been forced into a perfect mould all his life.Probably never had a time in his life when mistakes could be tolerated by fans,friends and parents alike.He's probably been struggling with his humanity and found no one to talk to-trust enough.No one who could bear the fact that TIGER WOODS IS HUMAN! So he keeps it to himself until the urges boil over and lead him into the sorts of things he got into.The more he gets the more he craves.He is so ashamed of his choices that he goes to great lengths to conceal this waywardness until what was done in the dark finally comes to light.I can relate to that.I'd been in a slightly similar situation when i couldn't share with anyone my inner struggles for fear of disappointing people.So i tried to contain it till i popped. I know there are lots of people out there like Tiger who haven't been caught yet.Married women sneaking out at night to swingers clubs,Married men sleeping with their nanny and wives best friends,Preachers stealing church funds,Police officers taking bribes,Accountants cooking the books,People with secret drug habits, Nuns engaging in lesbian orgies, etc. The list is endless.What ever the temptation or the human struggle, people must seek counsel before the situation gets really ugly.I believe we all can find someone to trust if we search hard enough.You can bear your heart to God for a start.Those temptations and urges need to be checked while they are still in their thought form lest they boil over and produce a scandal.However, I don't think its over for Tiger or any "Tiger that's been caught in the woods".We can all have a fresh start.The merciful God made it so.But the decision must first be made.Wish you the best!
