Taught To Be Professionally Combative

I would not categorize myself, By using any means of limitation. Some who live without missions, Or causes... Would not understand my commitment. Nor do I campaign my efforts. I will say I am direct. Pleasant and respectful to a fault. However... I do not mind coming face to face, Or nose to nose... With anyone who assumes, My life has not been lived... Without challenges. I prefer to be peaceful. But... I also have been taught to be, Professionally combative! Both as a performing artist, As an ex-military man... AND having survived marriage. So... I am mentally equipped to deal, With anyone on several levels. And living alone on my own... In a few distant cities, Has given me a lot of insight.
