STRONG Life Insider: When Men Lose Their Edge
When men lose their edge..... Worse yet, when a man NEVER had an edge. A mental edge, a physical edge...... Any sign of inconvenience is viewed as a threat by these men. And, while we're at it, let's also include young men / teenagers. It's a frightening world where I see the smallest things are threatening, scaring and completely stopping people.
