Wrote this out mid day on Friday.

Stress and enjoyment go hand in hand. Just as happiness and sadness do. When we practice escapism we forget the stress that must accompany the situation we long for. It would be optimal to be able to perceive life in the same way we perceive our imagined places. However stress is a symptom of emotions. If we removed stress this means we would have to remove the emotions that cause it, unfortunately to remove such emotions would also remove joy. The contrary is not true of joy. As many people know, Joy can be removed without removing stress. The whole situation can pose some interesting thoughts. It would appear that stress is fundamentally tied into the core of our being. It seems to be a fact of life that we all encounter stress. The question becomes, how then do we face stress. There is no place to run from it that it wont find us given enough time, and given the ever changing nature of the universe around us. We each face the world in our own way, see things in our own way, and live life in our own way. However, each of us effects the world around us in ways not visible to anyone living on this earth. Every word you say, ever action taken has an effect, and when the effects are combine, new effects form.
