Love affair?
Mar 08th 2010 15:23
Recently, a married government officer resigned from his position for having love affair with a socialite. It’s interesting. Sometimes, people judge others by their private lives but not their competence. Is there any statistic which shows the person who has extramarital affair will be more likely to do something improper? To be honest, I can’t figure out it, especially when the private life we talk about is not something like embezzlements or interest conflicts but love affair. They should be judged by morals, and it’s all.

Thanks for the opinions above. (I typed here then anyone can correct it easily. )
Like what "darkhonour" said, most people look to a leader as a role model than his actual ability to lead. I think this thought/opinion prevails especially obviously in the areas which are affected by Confucianism, because in ancient China, as one of the most important characteristics, "virtue" was used by government to select local officers. Maybe because of the long-term cultural effect, the people live in Confucianism will have more expect on government officers' moral activities.
I'm not that familiar with the Western view on this topic. So, no matter on English correction or viewpoint, please give me some feedback. I'll very appreciate.

To be honest, I can’t figure out it, especially when the private life we are talking about is not something like embezzlements or conflicts of interest, conflicts but a love affair.

Do you not think that a married man having an affair is immoral?
it's really embarrassing. too bad.
Is there any statistics which shows the person who has extramarital affairs will be more likely to do something improper?

And... If you are a public official and you break a promise to your wife, wouldn't that show that you would also break promises to the public?
