Some history. The original man under stress:

And Siddharta - a frustrated man, a man under stress, full of illusions - sat under the bodi tree with determination: “I will know the truth”. After sitting there thus, without moving, ultimately all this negativity started to empty itself, all these negative vibrations, and he emerged from that state as the Buddha, the enlightened One. What does “the enlightened One” mean? It means one who is full of knowledge, wisdom.

What’s the moral of the story here? Without stress, the Buddha Dude himself never would have even gotten motivated to become enlightened.
