Editorial #36: Tiger Woods

Autism Politico noticed that Tiger Woods publicly apologized for his infidelity.

Autism Politico agrees that public figures have a responsibility to be role models. Tiger Woods was  successful at being one up until he was caught.

What Tiger Woods did, however, cannot be made up for with an apology.

Autism Politico would make this statement even if Woods was nothing more than a weekend golfer, however.

• Every single time a person is confronted with temptation, a person can think twice.
• Every single time a person is confronted with temptation, a person can ask themselves how much they stand to lose by doing what they are about to do.
• Every single time a person is confronted with temptation, a person can ask themselves what the moral and ethical implications of giving in to those temptations are.

No man or woman is an island, but everything we do causes ripples around us.

Who do we become when we give in to our temptations?

Slaves.

Hostages to our own weaknesses.

Autism Politico thinks that it would be a good thing for autistics to look at our own little worlds from outside of ourselves and see whether or not we are becoming prisoners within the confines of our own private sins.
