Tiger Woods Is Not a Hero
Tiger Woods is not a hero, he's a man
He's a man in a group with others, who can't resist a wild
party girl
to make a man's middle age a bit more exciting
to hold off the boredom of being settled
and safe
jon gosslin, john edwards, bill clinton, tiger woods, derek jeter, arod, countless actors
and the men
in your family
your house
your neighborhood
yes a man is weak
(and sometimes a woman)
drawn to excitement once their security is established
the bubbling excitement of a double life
father, provider, husband, lover
and then wild man in bed with a wild woman
is just too enticing
the power is as intoxicating
as the sex
be careful
who you hold up to your children as heros
not athletes
or actors
not professors or teachers
not polititians
be careful
the real heros are the exceptional ordinary people
who work their lives in a steady way
and lead by example
