What, Tiger Woods cheated????? Noooooooo, never. (Sarcasm)
It's his business, not ours, however, it doesn't mean that he won't have to deal with the consequences of his actions and as a person in the spotlight sometimes (whether fair or not) their consequences might be greater than the average Joe. Let's not forget that forgiveness doesn't mean that you don't have to deal with what you've done. And in his case, unfortunately its going to be a little harder than ole Leroy who cheated on Becky Sue in some back yard farm land in the middle of nowhere.
However, being a celebrity also has it's perks when transgressions occur. For instance, an impoverish drug addicted woman on heroin, crack, X, is usually thrown in jail and locked up for who knows how long, if caught and found with a substance on her vs the celeb or high profile figure who instead is admitted to a treatment facility and receives proper rehabilitation because those options are accessible to them. Again, both are an affliction, transgression, illness, however you would like to describe it, but one person is at a higher probability of a positive outcome because of their status given the same crime vs another individual because of their lack of fame or access. Again, both have to deal with the consequences of their actions, whether fair or not.
At the end of the day, we shouldn't cast stones, pass judgement, etc. But we must also understand that to every action there is a reaction. Today the media is the reaction for Tiger's actions.
Tomorrow, my attending will probably yell at me for being mean to the transitional year and so on. . . . I guess that's life, you still deal with the laws of the Land even after the Father forgives you. (And the laws of the land aren't fair).
