Leave Tiger alone

 | Golf | 0 Comments

Tiger is not perfect because he is also human, what a surprise. Nor should he be blamed for the fantasy world, the goddess of a wife and the sham of a marriage society has forced upon him. If we insist that he is failing, then it is we who are all to blame, not him.

Fifty percent of the marriages nowadays fail anyway, so there is nothing new. If you are a celebrity then that percentage is much higher. Why is that so? Yet another forced marriage bites the dust, but life continue nonetheless.

We gawk and we gossip and we feel better about ourselves when we don't have to look at our own lives and can worship heroes instead. We soak up the vicarious thrills of their challenges and successes. We are hypocrites when that large chunk of our own missing selves is put on the shoulders of those so-called perfect heroes.

Failure is part of the game and happens once in awhile. Leave Tiger alone and get on with your own lives.

Tiger, Elin, And A Five Iron: Yawn
