Tiger Woods is not a sex addict. He is a control freak who cheated on his wife with multiple women to feel out of control. He spent his childhood in fear of disappointing his demanding parents; now, he feels like he's disappointed the whole world and his family, too. The memo Tiger hasn't received that I'm here to deliver is that he was better off when he was dating the tens of women. At least then he was acting out against his psychosis. All public humiliation has done to this man is bound him up tighter in the iron will of other people's opinions. This man might be a billionaire, but he is a slave.
Aesop, the Ethiopian fabulist who found fame in Greece was also a slave. Aesop's lowliness gave him his insights as well as catapulted him to fame. Now we consider the hard boiled dynamics of human experience he gave the world children's fare.
Even while being powerful, supremely privileged and the very best in the world at something, Tiger is the public's whipping boy.
Aesop's "The Walnut Tree" reads: "A walnut which grew by the roadside bore every year a plentiful crop of nuts. Everyone who passed by pelted its branches with sticks and stones in order to bring down the fruit, and the tree suffered severely. 'It's hard,' it cried, 'that the very persons who enjoy my fruit should thus reward me with insults and blows.'"
