Losers and misfits in life in every way.
I do not agree Karin, those one knows at 20 years old or in school cannot be judged when they are in their 30's or 40's.
I came across one of those books written by people that follow crime in my 50's, darn there was a picture of my old boyfriend. Had not seen him in 30 years. What had he been up to in all this time, no good it seems.
I went to get out my albums of very old photos and try to think back all those years on who and what he was at the time.
He when I met him was a very large hulk, road a sub as a torpedo man, and one of the nicest men I have ever met. Not one mean bone in his body at the time and he was our Bear, big and had enough hair to make him look like one.
Sad that I did love him but was engaged to another man and it was a toss up of who I was to marry. I chose the carear Sailor over the short timer.
At 50 years of age I saw what could have been my fate had I married this man. Had I followed my heart I would have seen him go to prison for life.
I guess I am trying to say is that some of the most wonderful talented and smartest people with the world ahead of them do get caught up in the darker side of life. Good people that get dragged into the underworld of life become monsters in training. For most of them there is no going back.
