> In some ways, life without stress is boring and uneventful
Thing is, maybe a boring and uneventful life is all some people want.
That doens't mean that nothing should happen at all, but what's the point of enduring constant stress if there is no "boring and uneventful" phase between one stressful event and the other?
The boring part should be the default state and the ultimate goal you work towards during stressful times.
It's like saying that everyone should work not because they need money to survive, but because "life without work is boring". I, for one, would do perfectly fine without that daily task, thanks.
