This usually goes away for men when they feel like they’ve got some control, a mission in life and the means to accomplish it. When that gets threatened, depression starts, and as they lose hope of ever regaining control, suicidal ideation begins to creep in harder and harder.

That’s a good summary. What constitutes an appropriate mission to give purpose seems to be built on deep seated beliefs which can be hard to shift. Esp when the mission is foundered on unrealistic expectations.

No. The mission is found in relationships, specifically the legacy a man leaves. Offspring, adopted kids, family, students, any number of people a man can help to grow and leave a lasting impact. These are all that survive a man’s death and transcend religion or politics.

Ideally, that’s the mission. But that’s not an ingrained belief system for many.

That the opposite of postmodern teaching, indeed. Break the chains.
