modern stress is a haunting phenomenon. it's ethereal.. unreal.. intangible.. but it creeps over your muscles and internal organs and before you know it, you are seized in its otherwordly clutches.
back when humans were a slave strictly to basic biological survival, stress was something concrete.. a predator chasing them across a prarie. now - stress is comprised of invisible villains: deadlines, debt, the economy. none of these things seem very real.. perhaps that is why human beings have such problems coping with modern stress.. the stressors are self contrived.. self imposed by the design of our way of life.. is this what we secretly desire?
even with all the advances of modern technology, will man still invent imaginary antagonists to complicate our lives because we cannot be without stress?
what would happen to civilization if stress was substantially decreased or eliminated? would the human race implode?
