Stress is everywhere. But stress is neither good nor bad. It's just a part of being human. We're continually pressured by gravity and air, by our skin and our clothes, by our diets and activities, by our relationships with our family and friends and co-workers. But for some reason, we try to get rid of our stress. We want freedom from stress, relief from stress; we go to stress-management classes and take anti-anxiety medication. What are we striving for? Stability?? Peace?? Harmony?? These might be good things to work toward, but does it mean that we have to rid our lives of all things yin?
