    These days it really helps my mood to dive into something old that's new to me, this was a wonderful little find

    I agree. Good story. I enjoyed it.

    Silverberg shines here, surprised he didn't include this in his _Phases of the Moon_ collection. The themes in this story really resonate with evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa's non-fiction book _The Intelligence Paradox._

    Perhaps inspired by the difficulties a lot of professional soldiers face trying to merge back into society after war service

      In that respect it's very similar to the hero by George R R Martin

    such a tragedy, a good friend died while a stupid never content man lived to be stupid and never content for the rest of his life

      Not for the rest of his life. At the end, he realized that he had hope with Laynie. That she was actually beautiful in a real, not artificial, way. And there was a future for him. He accepted what he was and realized that his life had far more hope than the Earthers or trying to be like them. I saw that Rolf grew as a character by the end.

    Written badly and horrendously verbose along with being read awfully.

      You are a rotten human. You are the problem.
