I don't understand why people feel Tiger needs any help whatsoever, let alone any ridicule. What we have here is a double standard. John F Kennedy cheated on his wife, and people all over the country to this day are still regarding him as one of the most monumental presidents of all time. Bill Clinton helped campaign for Barack Obama, and Bill was cheered on like a big time hero in large crowds of democratic voters in 2008. Obama, Bush, and Clinton have all admitted to or at least been in trouble for the use of illegal drugs at some point in their lives. These are all leaders of our country who make worldwide decisions that impact lives of billions of people. But we don't care, we only care about Tiger.
What about the morality of all other actors, politicians and sports heros throughout our country? David Letterman seems to be doing fine very shortly after his ordeal. But for some reason we focus on Tiger instead. I thought maybe because he's black. But I think it's more so because everyone thought he was an absolute goody two shoes, and everyone is loving it when they see someone with that image fall from grace. As far as TM and moral reasoning goes, I am fully aware that a few of the heavy hitters within the TMO have slept with other peoples wives, or at least attempted to. Some of it is only rumor, some of it comes from direct sources I absolutely trust. I don't think TM necessarily causes our moral reasoning to overcome our sex drive. seekliberation --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "dhamiltony2k5" <dhamiltony...@...> wrote: > > Redeeming Tiger: > > II.1 Mortification, study and surrendering the fruits of work to God are > called Yoga. > > Well, writing as a conservative meditator, I would remind poor Tiger of the > old axiom, "Tiger, what you put your attention on certainly grows stronger in > life."
