A person is not entitled to another person's achievements.

Dignity.

We hear about this but never about the feckless fool on the hill’s half brother in Kenya living in a hut on almost nothing. Why?

[Daffynition]

Hasn’t Clampton suffered enough. This is nobody’s business. Why stir up trouble? “Tears in Heaven”

Fairly strong resemblence.

“sub-Dickensian squalor”

I thought most Canadians lived in run-down, squalid trailer parks.
What’s the big deal?

[1010RD]

That’s impressive.

[a fool in paradise]

Maybe Obama’s half-brother could move to Canada and they could become roommates to share on rent.

Clapton is something of a Tory as is Bowie and Bryan Ferry

All have had to walk back England first statements

I have never asked him for money. A person is not entitled to another person's achievements. It is important for me to be successful on my own.

Before you think poorly of a successful half-brother, put yourself in Eric Clapner's (sic) shoes for a moment. Who knows, maybe Eric has offered to assist his half-brother and his half-brother has declined. Maybe Eric has done the right thing too by not insisting his half-brother needs his charity.

Either way, his half-brother can say with some regrets, but with dignity, he did it his way, not Eric's. A moral characteristic we see too little of today.
