You've got some wisdom in you! The metaphore you used on the longer you hold the bigger the strain, or something in that sense ;) Was pretty spot on. Made your point really clear.
When you talk about have you ever met a carefree person in your life, I immediately thought "uhm.. duh.. because we have contructed our society in such a manner that everyone is stressed as f+ck!"
In my opinion that all starts from our up bringing. We have to forcefully develop certain unnecessary skills or knowledge. Then at school or in our carreers we have to achieve more and more. Just to buy a bigger car or house to show off our succes and feel empowered after getting that feedback.
And the thing is.. we all create these things in our mind. We think we need it so feel desperate to achieve it.
All this just gives us so much stress. I try to go about life as relaxed as possible and learn from my moments of stress to avoid that in the future.
Good read! :)
I agree to everything you've said here. In fact, I couldn't have said it better myself. I am glad that I was able to put my point across in a clear way :)
