It’s odd that it’s such a quick jump to that.
Do you drive by a car wreck and have your first thought be about whether this person is likeable/respectable?

Human nature, I guess. I don't hold celebrties above, but I don't hold them under, either. Most people seem to fall on the ends of the spectrum of worship vs **** you.
I've never had real money in this world, but in growing as a person I've learned that money has nothing to do with anything and shouldn't be used for or against another human being. I don't worship Tiger, but reasonable understanding tells me he a) was never going to be normal (the standard to which normal people hold top athletes and celebrities) and b) was always going to be a person that struggled with being and and remaining on top of his sport. He was always going to slush and take painkillers and do anything to be the best ever.
It's a world we can't possibly imagine and because of that I don't judge as I don't know if I'd handle it any better (maybe worse?).
