I'm a rich man. To have everything you need is the definition of affluence.
It's always sad if anybody you know has a personal problem.
I have the "thing" worked out - the trick or the surprise or the pivotal fact. Then I just start somewhere and let the story work itself out.
I felt alienated by the experience and decided to stay away from corporate employment.
No, I'm a man with a rule. People leave me alone, I leave them alone. If they don't, I don't.
I just felt from personal observation that there is nothing more dislocated or alienated than a lifelong military person trying to cope in civilian life. It's like two completely separate planets.
