Facing It, June 7, 2009
One of the main problems many of us men face is that we think our saddest, most difficult, most problematic thoughts are "personal problems." After all, a man can take of his business and can always solve his problems. If he can't, he knows, he risks being disrespected and discarded -- by women and men alike. So the very things for which we need the most companionship and validation are the things which we most hide, deny and rationalize.
Rick Belden makes it unmistakably clear that any man who sometimes feels alienated from his best hopes and from his own, best, most cherished view of himself is most decidedly not alone. A truly courageous man, he has stepped forward saying, "Okay, I'll go first."
