A little bit of stress can make things more interesting. But too much of it can cause a myriad of health problems, both mental and physical. So no stress at all I see as a bad thing. But too much of it can be dangerous. So if we can lose 90% of our stress, but keep the last little bit, I think we would be damn close to a utopia.

I agree - a bit of stress is needed for a bit of motivation and growth. It's best to learn some methods of reducing stress like meditation or playing with your pets.
