Stress

You come home from work feeling as though you have been run
through the spin cycle of your washing machine. You can't wait
to take off your shoes and pour yourself a (stiff ) cool drink.
Stress!
Everybody knows what stress is. Stress is an integral part of
our urban lifestyle. It has become a normal part of life,
although it is generally known that stress is bad for health.
But, doesn't stress also have advantages? Is stress the same
as burden?
