This morning I was sitting on a park bench next to a homeless man.
I started a conversation by asking 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 was working on my MBA on-line. I had no bills and no debt. I even
had full medical coverage.”
I felt sorry for him, so I asked,
“What happened? Drugs? Alcohol? Divorce?”
“Oh no, nothing like that,” he said. “No, no. I got out of prison.”
