I talked to a homeless man this morning and asked him how he ended up this way.
He said, “Up until last week, I still had it all. I had plenty to eat, my clothes were washed and pressed, I had a roof over my head, I had TV and Internet, and I went to the gym, the pool, and the library. I had lots of loyal friends. I had sex almost every day. I was working on my MBA on-line. I had no bills and no debt. I even had full medical and dental coverage. Now I’ve lost it all.”
I felt sorry for him, so I asked, “What happened? Drugs? Alcohol? Divorce?”
“Oh no, nothing like that,” he said. “No, no. I just got out of prison.”
