Will stress kill you?

Answer 1

Stress is the difference between what I think I know and what happens per moment in life. Eventually it wears down the human spirit and our bodies eat themselves, dying from each moment of unabsorbed shock, one after the other. Our bodily organs and our genetics begin to wear down. Maybe someday we will have scientific means to bring things back, but for today it is taking care of each other and breathing decent air and drinking decent water and eating moderate good food and having clean thoughts that we share.

Answer 2

I like stress, it will not kill me. Stress give me pleasure.

Answer 3

depends on the amount of stress and how much your body can take of it. for example, stress is sometimes good because it pushes you on to do something. yet too much of it and you won't enjoy life and want to die thus resulting on suicide. but on the whole, i don't think that stress will kill you.

Answer 4
