I believe Stress is an American Invention -half joking, cause I know all human beings on the planet have to face it in different degrees.

I am Italian, and all I mean is that, as a foreigner, I have noticed that Americans are very result-oriented, seldom stopping to enjoy the way, like if the way lacks importance. They also believe that success is having money and/or toys (you know, the new car, the new electronic gadget, etc). All these toys are OK, and sweeten our life if used intelligently. But real success is only achieved by realizing our personal potentials. So, the need to work on these "American" values is evident.

I take the buss every day several times and...Hey, that is OK. I do not have a car to drive here in Seattle, where I have been for the last year-still another year left. You know what? By choice, and feel fine- they have a good transportation here and I save myself a lot of money in parking fees. Then, I notice this people I meet every day at the bus stop, the same faces, day after day from Monday to Friday...I guess they have been doing the same during months, or years...who knows? They do not even say "Hi" to each other...they are within themselves, may be talking on the cell to people whose warm human presence they can't feel... That is what I call a RARE behavior.

The human family is a fountain of joy and what gives purpose to our lives. It is important not to forget that.

I agree with what you say about men. They have that wonderful sense of humor. They use it, I have seen, to reduce tension... Have you noticed how men easily joke when there is a problem? Dio! I salute the male nature! That is a wonderful mechanism they have...they may be inherited from their ancestors, the hunters.

Women, us, had to stay at the cave, caring for our children, worrying because we knew the men were out there risking their lives to bring food home.... I don't know, but women do not handle well strees. We are often overly concerned with very tiny details...We are different! It is not good for us... We do not handle stress as well as males do. Also, our tendency to nurture people around us makes us very sensitive... "Are you sick? You look pale today!" This is all instinctive and a real disadvantage...Don't you agree with me?

Instead of denying our evident differences, women should learn how to deal with the negatives of their nature, a compared to males. It is obvious that we are different...
and, of course,we love that difference! Don't we?

In sum, we have problems with our social values, and have also failed to realize the many gender differences. If we could work on only those things -because problems, or stress, will always be there...Present... unavoidable.
