TIGER DROPS THE BALL

Man that sucks for tiger. The higher you are, the farther you fall.

I liken this type of thing to drunk driving; it is costly, stupid and dangerous. So why has EVERYONE done it at one time or another? because it is just easier. Its easier to drive home than call a cab, it doesn't matter if it is wrong. EVERYONE has done it, its just a matter of who gets caught.

Over the last 10 years we have heard about innumerable cases of superstars cheating and lying, etc... whether it be in sports, their personal lives or whatever. I don't know why this should come as any big shock, superstars are people that are extremely talented at one thing, but otherwise they are normal people. The only difference is that they are surrounded by tremendous wealth, temptation and scrutiny. I don't blame any of them for their indiscretions.

Sadly, it seems that no matter how great your life may be, eventually you get bored with it. Eventually you want something different, a change of pace, a little excitement. People want to feel the 'rush' of being alive; you do anything long enough and that rush disappears. Are we all just 'rush' junkies, continuously upping the ante as life goes on?

What's most bothersome is that it seems human nature is to find the path of least resistance (aka the easy way) to get what we want and it generally tends to be lying, cheating and stealing. So does that mean everyone does it, and its just a matter of who gets caught?

How scary is that?
