Sometimes a man needs time to pause and reflect his direction in life. Einstein said 'the only thing constant in this universe is change' and I fully agree. It is very tiring when you work all day trying to achieve something in your life. Yes, it's nice to have big cars and houses but that's only part of it.
The other part of it is 'soft' side of things. Things that I am not able to put into words (cause I am a man and we have small vocab to explain such things....well, maybe that's just me)
The point is - A man needs both.
