I really like your sonnets @jerrytsuseer, but not because they are to be liked, I feel they are meant to be felt.

And I feel this one, absolutely.

Seems I remember a while back some frustrations of yours with the VA, frustrations I am very familiar with, and to the point where I am neglecting services that many think would be useful to me.

I learned early in life that I was definitely not a conformist, and although I excelled in the military and left with an honorable discharge, the staff NCO's were in shock when I turned down a lucrative re-enlistment bonus, because my truth, was that it was hell for me, working day after day under the order of the herd minded unintelligent. It was pure misery, but I did what I had to do to get through it, and the collective mind of the world isn't getting any better.

Today I'm a full blown hermit who doesn't like to leave the house. Sad to some maybe, but I am much happier this way. It is not me that needs to change as the shrinks have suggested, it is the state of humanity which needs change.
