I'd argue you lower your quality of life and mental health for others constantly. We all do. Nobody owes anybody. That's not how the world works and that's not what is being said. Anyone can walk from anything, family included.

There are people sitting in horrific marriages for their kids sake, financially speaking.

If you're gonna be the star, and it's all hinged to you, you accept responsibility for many lives. This is the reality of the world and it's why we say CEOs are worth their weight, they carry that burden.

It seems like Letterman is aggravated at Dave's blow-off answers.

Yeah, by choice. No one is making them.

Again, by choice. And the idea that people do their kids a favor by doing this is debatable at best.

I'm sorry but I completely disagree with this.

The dude told jokes for a living. How seriously can you possibly take him? If a person hinges his life on Chapelle's ability and willingness to tell funny jokes then I'm having a hard time feeling sorry for him.

Chapelle was an entertainer. He made some money doing it. The fact that others got a slice if that pie doesn't mean they own the pie and are entitled to more. That's absurd.

Hell, even a CEO doesn't have the level of responsibility you're pinning on celebrities. They are responsible to their shareholders and are charged with giving them a profit. That's it. They're not responsible for lives.

Its complete bullshite. CEOs in general are vastly overpaid.

If your success hinges on another person, well, you need to consider carefully who you rely on.
