Man should not try to avoid stress any more than he would sh

Summary

This quote suggests that stress, just like essential aspects of life such as food, love, or exercise, should not be avoided. Stress is a natural part of human existence, and trying to completely evade it would be counterproductive. Instead, it implies that individuals should acknowledge and accept stress as a normal phenomenon, as it can potentially facilitate growth and development. Similar to how we cannot live without necessary things like food and love, stress can also provide valuable experiences and opportunities, emphasizing the importance of managing and utilizing it positively rather than trying to eliminate it entirely.
