"You Are Who You Pretend To Be... So, Be Careful Who You Pretend To Be."

Kurt Vonnegut

Everything counts, every thought, every action, every word leaves a mark. This applies to the pillars and the dredges of society equally. Some may pretend that certain things  don't matter. Some may pretend to be unaffected by other things. In the end, every thing matters. Okay, a bit "deep" isn't it? Perhaps, but now consider Tiger Woods and his mysterious accident.  Tiger can pretend that this is a private matter. Tiger can pretend that he is above those human moments. Tiger can pretend that it doesn't count.

I understand Tiger's obsession with having a great deal of control. It is that obsession that enables him to be dominant on the golf course and an iconic figure in sports. I also recognize his capacity to get upset. Anger has long been a branch of his tree. The events of the past few days have everyone digging into those things that Tiger pretends do not count. But rather than jump into that great unknown, why not just leave it at "Everything Counts?"
