I guess it means that what the media views as so important is not so important. I have four great children and six lovely grandchildren, along with a loving wife. I wouldn't have traded any of it for what Robin Williams had at the peak of his career.
And his gifts? Cultural assignments. In earlier times he would have been nothing more than a Court Jester. I wouldn't trade anything I have for anything he had.
I am sorry he died.
