This is a grievous wound to the male ego and may turn him into a renegade, a warrior of the negative sort who may resort to wielding his powers wantonly and destructively, lashing out at his co-workers or family. A hole appears in the psyche that becomes filled with demons. Frustration begets anger. When the ego is opposed to the id , the id will grow stronger until it prevails. You can hold your breath until you pass out, then you breathe again.
Some men invent a false personality, put on a smile, or a shell of indifference.
Such men may surrender themselves to a strict military or religious discipline where most of his decisions are made for him. He may turn against himself through the use of drugs or alcohol, or a pre-disposition towards escapism and failure, or to passive aggression. If his heart is not in it, his efforts become hampered by a sense of futility. If he cannot get in touch with his own grief it will eat him, bit by bit, until be becomes a either a vegetable or a monster. The inability to mourn is a tragedy of monumental proportions both to individuals and nations.
