"Somehow, state corrections officers came to wear the banners of both state peace officer and prison guard. These rival occupational tags surely did not exist harmoniously in a prison environment. For, at many junctures and locations, a stronghold of staff corruption exploded both prejudices and divisiveness in our so-called institutions of rehabilitation."

In The Depths Of Brad
"Me Against All Others"
In both my personal life and my two careers as a U.S. Marine and a prison guard, I have had many opponents, adversaries, and or just outright enemies. Their kindest opinions have branded me as an unhinged madcap individual who was unpredictable and definitely hard-hitting in retaliation.
I admit that I’ve never been a part of any clique or group. I’ve mostly been untrusting of others, especially those who paraded their real or presumed superintendence over others.
I could easily count over my entire life trusted friends on one hand. But, even those fellowships had stringent limitations. Therefore, a lone wolf marker placed on me could easily be upheld.
It goes without saying that I've taken lots of risks and chances in life where the odds were definitely not in my favor. I've celebrated those victories. The others, well, I have either recovered from, or just plain survived those encounters.
Although I've made more than my fair share of poor judgments and mistakes, I still became a quite reputable man.
While the best part of me has always been my exceptionally harmonious nature with people and animals who were desperate for help, I was right each time I saw them as not having the capabilities of defending themselves. Very much a "soft-spot" with me. At this point, I felt the moral obligation to step in and do their fighting for them. While I won many of those confrontations, I did, however, lose more than a few.
The saddest part has been all my life-long clashes with family. Many times, unjustly labeled and accused, I've had to fight my way through lengthy battles in rightfully discrediting false characterizations made of me and surfacing the level of rectitude that I rightfully deserved.
So, through all this, and much more, I discovered I was far from invincible. For, I too, am human. Because there were limits as to how much burden and stress I could carry. I've learned this the hard way, twice. But, nevertheless, with virtually no allies, and post traumatic stress lingering, I still found paths to recovery.
So, for good reason, now, in my retirement years, I prefer to avoid people. I find that living most of my final years in a state of virtual solitude is very much worth it.
However, I’d be a liar if I didn't say that this long, long journey of mine hasn't given me a full life. But, the real truth is, while at times life has been a gift, it has been predominantly a curse.
