Have you ever heard the proverb about how you grow a tree for only ten years, but you have to grow men over a hundred?

I guess not then. In English it means that human progress is tied with education and that you have to nurture those skills and talents over time for the betterment of everyone. Which is why I've brought myself here.

There is a time to say goodbye to the military and lead a quieter life, like others I know. Because you can't stay in that kind of environment forever. I loved studying when I was in university and returning the favour is probably the best to do. Plus there will be new people to meet and new technologies to develop. It's a really conducive atmosphere to learning, collaboration - oh.

Really, there's nothing for me to lose. I like having the free time too. Makes it easier to catch up on reading.

Well, most people aren't named after a single letter for one thing... though it's not my place to say, really. It sounds like enharmonia and that is all I need to know. "He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough."

As for helping people... I suppose so. I was never a fighter. I can't kill people. So I strive towards helping those who are capable of bringing the world to a better place.
