In his book, The Buchwald Stops Here, Art Buchwald, political pundit, described Charley, well dressed and obviously doing well, and his brother, Terry, a man who had worked for Nixon in the White House, who now looked quite scruffy. Buchwald tells of them talking as they rode together in a taxi. Apparently Terry had wanted to reveal what he had known about the Nixon administration while he worked there, but Charley had talked him out of it. As a result Terry didn't cash in on his story and lost his big chance, and he resents Charley's success and blames Charley for ruining his life.
It is never right to stand in the way of another person's trying to obtain something good. We must never be responsible for someone else's loss. As Saint Paul urges the Corinthians to accept the way of salvation God offered in Jesus Christ, he goes to great pains to show that he has done nothing to stand in their way. On the contrary, he has suffered every possible misfortune in order that they might possess this wonderful gift from God.
