?????? ?????????????? 45-60 ?????????? ???? ???????????? ???? ???????????? ?????????????? ???? ?????? a ???????????? ????????????.
??????'?? ???????????? ?????????? – ?? ?????????? ??????????????? ???? ??????????????. We rarely talk about it, and many men simply don't know how. This deafening quiet often leads to a storm of pain, not just for them, but for everyone around them.
I recently witnessed a scene that ripped my heart out. A strong, confident man – seemingly unfazed by life's massive blows – was utterly broken. ?????? ????????????? A simple, unmet emotional need from the one person he trusted and loved the most. Sure, theirs wasn't the most 'proper' or 'socially acceptable' relationship, but he thought, it had FAITH in it. He offered himself, as he was and the reciprocal energies led both to move forward in grateful and love-endorsed procession.
It wasn't a grand gesture he craved, but simply to be seen, understood, and held in that moment of vulnerability. The one time he desired to be seen for what he is and not what he sometimes displayed. The one time in his life when he probably asked explicitly and expressed openly, in faith.
His pleas fell on thinking and rational ears (he had enough of it within himself, while what he needed then was the feeling heart, which was the need of the hour), his pain overshadowed by societal expectations and conscientiousness calls of the other person. This wasn't about right or wrong; it was about the ?????????????????? ???????? ?????? ????????????????????. The need to be seen, heard and felt, for a little while only, coz he was aware, as the journey progressed, he will find his inner resources come back to his support.
But his lifeline snapped, leaving him adrift in a sea of despair.
?????? ?????????????? ?????? ??????????????????????. A shattered man, a confused family- in pain as they couldn't help him (this man was always a closed cookie), a career in freefall. Gone was the brilliance, the generosity, the very essence of who he was. All because he had ?????????????? ???? ????????, ???? ???????????? ?????? ?????? ??????????. His support, his faith, all shifted their base elsewhere.
?????????????? – a man who built lives, fostered success, loved selflessly (?????????? ??????? ???????? ??????????, ??? ?????? ???????? ?????????????????, ??u?? ????????????? ?????? ???? ????? ???????????? ???? ????? ??????????????????????? ??? ?????????? ???? ?????????), now teetering on the edge.
He thought he could navigate this darkness alone, but even the strongest souls need a hand. The support system he desperately needed simply wasn't there.
This isn't an isolated incident. There are countless men like him, masters of disguise, walking wounded behind a facade of normalcy.
So, the questions that burn within me are:
??. ?????? ???? ???? ?????????????????? ?????????? ???????????? ?????????? ?????? ???????? ???????????? ????'?? ?????? ?????????
??. ?????? ???? ???? ???????????? ?? ???????? ?????????? ?????? ???????? ???? ?????????????? ?????????? ???????????????????????????????
??. ?????? ???? ???? ?????????? ?? ?????????????? ???? ?????????????? ???????? ??????????'?? ???????? ?????????? ?? ??????????????????'?? ??????????, ?????? ?? ???????? ??????????????, ?? ?????????????????? ??????, ?????? ?? ?????????????????? ?????????????? ?????????? ???? ???????? ???????? ?????????????? ?????? ???????????
These are questions we can't ignore, especially during ??????'?? ???????????? ???????????? ??????????.
Support groups exist, but are they reaching the men who need them most? The men who blend in, the men who give endlessly, the men who are silently withering away?
??????'?? ?????????? ?????? ??????????????. Let's create a world where men can be ???????????? ?????? ???????????????????? at the same time. Let's build a safety net that catches them before they fall.
Share your thoughts, your experiences, your ideas.
??????'?? ?????? ???????? ?????????????? ???????????? ????????.
We owe it to the men who build our communities, who fuel our society, who shower us with love – even when they themselves are drowning in pain.
