Prepare for War in the Time of Peace

A fellow resident where I stay was informed that this Wed is his last day. If he had not inquired, it would surprised him like hunter surprising prey.  My heart goes out to him because here we're all in the same boat......that exit date!. The future is for those who are prepared.....that is why I prepare for the future before that time comes. Many here are relaxed and comfortable; treating this facility like a sorority house, a weekend getaway.  They are shocked when the day comes.  I'm always alert and plan ahead because nothing last forever.  I hope he lands on his feet where ever that may be. What I have learned (and quickly) is that when you are unemployed, homeless with no connections to put you back on your feet, you're invisible to society, you don't exist.  In the movie "Trading Places" the successful man had everything including respect and accolades from his peers while the homeless man had nothing was looked down upon by society as a loser and scum? Welcome to the real world because that movie is a reflection of what society feels to day about homelessness.  Prepare!!!!!
