[quote=Aecetia]I am not betting on it, but from all appearances he loves his children. They will be the big losers in all the drama, not Tiger’s wife, not Tiger or his sponsors. His children will lose their father. Divorce trashes children the most, even rich children. I think it is a sad outcome for them.[/quote]
My parents were divorced when I was 9. It didn’t have any affect on me at all. I could not have possibly cared less. My brother and I lived with our mom, but we stayed with our dad maybe 4-6 days a month. He was always there if we needed something, so I didn’t feel like I was “losing a father.” I had a very good relationship with both my father and mother for their entire lives.
I’ve never understood the idea that divorce is some tragedy, but I guess for many folks it is. Or is it that kids are convinced that it’s supposed to be tragic, thus making it so?
[This is the point where some Piggs say, “Ah ha! His parents were divorced – that’s where his views come from!! Umm, no. Lots of folks with divorced parents out there. Not a lot folks who share my views – openly, at least.]

Life has no point, other than seeking your own contentment (and then you die). These “outside things” (family, friends, charity, whatnot) are not unimportant – don’t get me wrong – they bring some measure of pleasure and happiness to life. But, again, they are ephemeral. In an existential sense, all you’ve really got is your body and brain when you get right down to it. That’s my point.

As Chris Rock has pointed out: “A man is only as faithful as his opportunities.” It’s when a man tries to deny this fundamental truth that he gets himself into trouble.[/quote]
There is such a thing as self restraint. Rock’s comment doesn’t seem to allow for that.
