Yeah I think about stress everyday too. Not that I have a choice though.

Did we ever figure out why we evolved brains that produce cortisol?

Cortisol is actually a really important hormone and it can even make you feel good. The problem is when you have too much too often. It’s like putting your body and mind into sport mode. Very useful in the short term but unsustainable in the long term.

Stress: The mind overriding the body's natural desire to choke the ever-living fuck out of some asshole who desperately deserves it.
