Too much truth here for comfort. I probably need it. Thank you. I just wonder how to put it into action as a social construct in a society that makes profits from broken men like myself. Sure, I'm older now and most of the harm has been done, so I can take it with the seasoning of age, but "therapy only costs 15.00" is dependent on knowing how to get it, how to use it and whether it's available locally: not to mention the trust factor. If it costs $100/hr in lost work and time to drive for an hour, sit for an hour and drive another hour, it's not exactly cheap, and any admission that one needs deep therapy brings a risk of degraded personal viability in a competitive, mythical social structure.

Yes, men need to step up and learn/teach at the very beginning to accept that we are not "rugged individuals" and that nobody is really human by themselves. Society needs to learn it, as well, and that's a generational story about profits, competition and bullies.

Excuses? Sure, to some degree, but also causality loops that require a cooperative acknowledgement effort by these same isolated beings taught to distrust altruism and hide weaknesses.
