This is a topic that everyone over the age of about 15 will understand. The intolerable and inescapable parasite, we call stress. Not only does stress have its own physical signs, breakouts and a general disheveled look, but it also takes a gigantic toll on our mind.
But I am not here to talk about the signs, but the causes. The society we currently live in is the most stressful in history. Why, do you ask? Because of all those wonderful sources of stimulus. We are always busy. And not being busy either makes you lonely or gives you an awkward feeling. Has the need to constantly be on the go been ingrained into us genetically? What happened to just chilling? Now, to chill, you might need weed to calm you enough to sit still. We have things to do at school, work, home, with friends, for fun, so that you do not look bad for not doing something.
Perhaps society as a whole should take a nap. A world wide nap. So that everyone can relax for at least an hour. Or maybe we set aside an hour where, all business stops, work stops, and all your responsibilities can float away for awhile. What you do is your choice. And maybe you are thinking to yourself, is this guy completely retarded? What is he smoking? Maybe my idea is far fetched but if we do not watch it, Stress will eat us alive. Oh, wow. I just made being stressed stressful. >< ;
Maybe I need a break....
