The Story of an Irrelevant Man
When he lost his relationship with the self to support the needs of his family.
A man wakes up one day to find he has become irrelevant to his family.
He loves his family with everything yet his needs are disregarded; but he continues to put them first. Only to find that he has lost the sense of who he is as a person, as a man, as a self. He has grown to feel invisible at times as if he is a fixture in the background of the living room or kitchen. As if his value within the family was called into question a long time ago, and his need to feel appreciated was swept aside. What is truly root of this situation and how did his life get to this point? I cannot say for sure as each man I have ever spoken with has their own story as to how he ended up here.
He knows that he is tired, he knows that he feels fear and that loneliness in a house of loved ones has become a familiar reality. He awakes at the same time each morning, handles familial responsibilities, goes to a job he feels little passion and love for so that he may support and fulfill the needs of others around him. But how did he end up here? Did he lose himself in the race of feeding hungry mouths and working hard for the validation and approval of those who matter most?
