Confession

This New Year started with a big bang…our politician involved in the sex scandal. He admitted it openly in a press conference. He expected the society to accept his apology and forget about this. Well, sorry…the society gave a negative response, thus he resigned all the posts held. When he was asked what was the lesson learnt in this incident, he said: "I used to go to the same hotel and same room due to convenience. It was a mistake." He even advised others not to repeat the same mistake. What an advice! Last time, there was a famous movie star involved in the sex scandal as well. He said: "I made a mistake that all men will make"… another funny excuse. People tend to rationalize their deeds.

Maybe the society put a high moral expectation on the politicians and celebrities. They may say: “Well, we’re human too and we make mistake like others, nothing special about this.” Personally, I think the politicians and celebrities have the responsibilities to behave themselves and set a good example to others. This is the price that you have to pay. If you want to be famous, then you have to sacrifice a bit of your privacy and behave yourself. If you think privacy is important, then just be a nobody and people will not be interested in you.

This incident made me wonder what is the value of faithfulness in a marriage? Maybe in this modern era, faithfulness is forgotten gradually…
