Oh, the mysteries of the male ego, where in the 21st century you would rather kill yourself than ask for help for depression.
"The unexamined life is a dis-ease ,and 'winning' and 'losing' are the symptoms. " - Anonymous Gnostic
What happens when you are carrying around genes and traits that cause behaviors that are no longer useful and even detrimental to an organism's ability to adapt and thrive in its current environment?
The same "male" ego that won't ask for help, and would rather die then do so, is the same ego that picks up a gun and shoots innocent people when it experiences a defeat/ failure/setback in its life.
Evolution baby, you can't live with it, and you can't live without it.
