Since lot of traffic in Life1 about cheating, thought of this.
Though in general cheaters are often looked down upon and hated, its not always like that. Some people can get away with it.
Like
John F Kennedy: Widely loved and respected by men and more so by women, JFK once excused his transgressions to former British prime minister Harold Macmillan by saying that if he didn’t enjoy the company of a lady every three days, he got headaches.
Bill Clinton: Don’t need to say anything.
Lady Diana: Love of people for Diana seemed to grow with number of affairs.
I dont necessarily think people are ok with cheaters.... its just that some people have obessions with others and think they can win the over and be their tru loves and others and just nymphos...
yes people have very casual attitudes towards cheating...or other activities ..simply because they think they CAN get away with it or FAMOUS people do it so its okay.
humans can start thinking that way only when they THINK they are getting away with things, DONT FORGET THE DAY WHEN WE ALL BE JUDGED WILL BE HERE. then any good done or any sin done will be out in open.
we have become casual in our thoughts (of cheating is ok, being gay is ok,) bcz we have moved away from Allah .we are not afraid of Allah.
Diana, god rest her soul, everyone loved her, even more so posthumously...but i never understood the fascination... Prince Charles, Will Carling, The pakistani doctor whom she fell in love with, then Dodi Al Fayed whom she swooned to get the pakistani doctor jealous...... and then some... everyone overlooks this part of her life..... looks are very deceiving and she was not as innocent as what the media made her out to be..
hmm now that u point it out , it is amazing how these ppl got away with it and princess diana is granted with an almost goddess like status amongst the brits.
bt i feel famous or not famous, cheating is a big no no , if ur married or with someone.
Recent rumors are that Brad Pitt was getting a little too close and comfortable with the nanny of his children. Angelina happened to walk in on him providing her a back rub....slapped Pitt.....fired the nanny on the spot......and woke the sleeping babies with all the ruckus! Brad calmed the babies, got on his motorcycle and sped away...for a while. Don't know if there is any truth to the story........
Sometimes society does not condone the philandering ways of celebrities. After all....BILL CLINTON ........did get IMPEACHED for lying about his little extra-marital tryst...under oath! The price he paid for his affair was TOO HEAVY compared to the brief pleasure he received from it.
Celebrities do receive a lot exposure for their lack of faithfulness (and any other aspect of their lives for that matter)........but sometimes that exposure can be negative. For example...few people supported Jude Law when he cheated on Sienna Miller....with the Nanny. And **Hugh Grant **wasn't applauded for cheating on Elizabeth Hurley with .....a hooker.
But I suppose......that since celebrities are such public figures.......it is easy for them to get in the limelight. A cheating celebrity could REDEEM his/her wounded image by doing works of charity, donating to a good cause, and coming out with a hit movie.........these acts will be made public **and work to **improve the celebrity's image.
**
ORDINARY cheating guys........have it a lot tougher. It's harder for them to redeem themselves. And while eventually other people might forgive and forget the **TRANSGRESSION............the EX may never fully forgive or for that matter forget the BETRAYAL!
For the most part....cheating is still frowned upon whether one is a celebrity or an ordinary person. Even Princess Diana **received some criticism for her affairs....but she redeemed herself through her works of charity and social projects. Perhaps the public would have been more gracious toward Prince Charles' affair if he was as socially active as Diana. The most important thing is to listen to your **conscience.......it if feels wrong........most likely it is WRONG! And let's not forget the universal rule........
"WHAT GOES AROUND EVENTUALLY....AT SOME POINT OR ANOTHER......COMES AROUND"
^Its funny, Brad cheats on Jennifer and the whole world is ok with it because it was with Angelina... another A-list constantly in the limelight big celebrity... and now when there's accusations of him possibly cheating on her its all so wrong because its just an ordinary nanny.
Most of the times publicly the cheating is supported if its with someone of a high status and caliber, but if you cheat with someone socially or economically inferior to the one you're already with, its a big no-no.. in the case of bill clinton, jude law, hugh grant.
This was one of the thread few days ago on this forum.
Is it true that:
It is cheating only if you get caught ? (don't involve religion here please). For all practical reasons, it seems that way. If that is the case, what is cheating really ? isn't the term misunderstood ?
If one commits a murder and was FORTUNATE that there were no witnesses around.......does that mean that the murder did not take place? Its kind of like that popular question that philosophers like to ask...."If a tree falls in a forest......and nobody heard it.....did it really fall?"
MOST **cheaters.........CHEAT..........when they **THINK that there are NO WITNESSES. ** MOST CHEATERS CHEAT WITH THE GOAL TO NOT GET CAUGHT!** In fact very** FEW **people would deliberately cheat with witnesses around and with the intention to get caught. What's the purpose of cheating if one wants to get caught? Cheating is supposed to be done so that the cheater does not get caught. And whether or not the cheater gets caught......does not erase the act of cheating.
Just because one doesn't get caught does not mean that the cheating never took place. And it's wrong to use such reasoning to justify one's deceitful actions.
There are many incidents that happen within our own community and around the globe that we were not able to see or even hear.........but that doesn't mean they never took place.
And many of us might have at some point in our lives been a victim of an injustice that was not "caught".......it could be an incident that took place only between us and our offenders......and just because the offender never got caught........and just because a third person never witnessed the incident........doesn't mean it never occurred.
