If ever a moralist wanted a field day, the Tiger Woods story would seem an ideal place to play.
What is truly weird is the almost Shakespearean progression of ills that can be traced to temptation.
This is apposite because temptation is the most underrated cause of downfall, even though it was given prominence in Genesis. It is an index of our culture that revenge trumps temptation almost every time in the superficial binary creation of plots.
We will need to move beyond this to get a true grip on both what ails and what saves us.
