I could go so many directions with this one. (LOL) If you take nothing else away from what I'm about to say, please remember this....STOP MAKING CELEBRITIES ROLE MODELS. We have ALL sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. This does not make any sin excusable, but it's a fact. Whatever goes on in Tiger's marriage is between God, him and his family. We have become a society of voyeurs, and especially into the lives of celebrities. Somehow because their careers make them public figures, the huge salaries they command, and the glamorous lives they lead we feel that their personal lives are ours to pick apart. WRONG!! They are simply fallible human beings just like each of us.
We need to take responsibility for our contribution to this voyeuristic phenomenon. The media feeds us what we consume. What do we do to change things? Stop watching television programs that promote celeb voyeurism, stop buying the tabloid magazines and stop commenting on-line. If we would all turn our interests to our lives then such public fiasco's as the Tiger scandal would become irrelevant. We must also teach our children who their real role models should be and that list should not only include athletes and celebrities. We should celebrate individuals who make great contributions to the betterment of mankind. Sometimes that list will include athletes and celebrities, many of which have shown themselves to be benevolent to many worthy causes and charities.
I was disturbed to hear during a broadcast of a show here on the radio station that the vast majority of our local schools, public and private, have not acknowledged Black History Month. How sad!! Instead of remembering what this month is supposed to be about, the focus is on something as shallow as Tiger's infidelity. SMH! What a shame.
