Do Men Need HELP Too? A Realistic View Into the Lives of Men Today. By Brenda E McLean

just can't wonder aimlessly through life doing as you very well please. You had better wake up quickly because your ship may well have passed you by. You may actually wake up to a new dawn where you won't be able to feed yourself, your family or kids (one day) in the immediate future! So, the short answer to the question I presented to you in the title of my article is "YES," men need help too.
Once again, I am talking from experience. It is not by any means because I think I am smart or think I know more than anyone else... I am not quite that vain. It is because I see this with my own eyes every day as I live the reality of what is happening to our men in America. In this case, I have a front row seat as I can see what really goes on in the lives of people I know and love, first hand.
More and more people are becoming unemployed at historical alarming rates. Jobs are harder to find and more people are becoming homeless, helpless and frankly in 'dire straits' these days more than ever before, that I can recall. And if you take a moment to think about it, hopefully you will see that it has now come a time for us to 'fill the need' to help one-another (man, woman or child). So if after you read this article and your mindset is still on (or has been) "Every man for himself" attitude; I think you may want to do some deep-deep soul-searching. Or if you haven't found GOD in your life yet, you may want to seek him out. You are gonna need someone because the very life you save may be your own or someone (man) in your family. Now, have you ever looked at it from that point of view? If so, that's good... If not, look deeply into the mirror and see what you really find...
You will find that you are not alone in this world and at some point in your life, I am sure someone was there to help you too.
Furthering my viewpoint on the subject, men may well be considered to be strong, independent and resourceful and that is all well and good. But the truth is that we all have our beginnings and a man's beginnings was with a strong woman supporting him in the background. It may not look like it and you may not see it or even think about it, but there is a saying that goes "Behind every good man, is a good woman." This my dear is a very true statement. I am making that affirmation because I believe that in every young child's life (boy or girl) the strong woman behind their growth and encouragement was in fact their strong-willed mother. Am I right? We are talking about the woman who stayed up late at night mending or washing the young man's clothes to prepare him for the next day's duties (whatever they may be) and after getting maybe one or two hours sleep, the good strong-willed woman, got up bright and early to prepare the breakfast and lunch for the man, young boy or child before sending him out into the world to handle his affairs (whether it is school or work) for that day. And after the 'mighty-woman' in the man's life sends him on his way, then her day starts before she can even catch her breath, she has to start on the tending of the house matters such as cleaning, managing the finances or shopping for food, if she is a homemaker. I know my mom had to start right away on dinner just after the breakfast was served and the dishes were cleaned. There really is no 'down-time' for a stay at home mom. The work never ends, it only begins day after day, after day! So for all those that have a stronger view on the other side of my question, thinking that men don't need any help...

Can you believe it? Here we are today struggling unlike no other time in the history or mankind, and you are asking me if men need help too? From the viewpoint of a woman who has a man and we both are struggling to survive as well as the next man... this is what I have to say on the subject.
I know, I know, and I know more than most that this is not an easy topic for discussion. It may strike people in different ways as everybody should have an opinion about this subject matter. Some may have stronger opinions than others, while yet other people may simply have nothing to say about the subject at all... And with regards to those people who don't have any opinion 'one way or the other' about what I am trying to say here is, YOU
