l was reminded of these issues has l watched a programme about the great but sadly departed Robin Williams he held so much inside
indeed hiding behind a mask
frightened to let others see his true self
indeed many still do this espically male
in my area we see males fishing and spending time on the allotments
alone
fearful
unable to communictae
even sometimes fearful to question the political system
alone spending time in own company
we have in our locality the highest incidents of male sucide
men need to talk
remove the fears and spend time in community
young and old have this issue
it what in my younger days would address in spiritual development
need to share and be aware of whats inside
