There are times in every man's life when all we see is darkness.  Things get a bit rough at work, home life is hectic, cars break at the worst times for the dumbest reasons, bosses are crabby and out of touch, the kids always need something.  Yes, there are times when all we see as men, husbands, and fathers is not the end of the proverbial rainbow...but just a sense of darkness.
