I think that one major cause of stress in modern life, also in pre-modern civilized life, is the conflict between what principles that society says it believes in, such as those of democracy say, or of a religion, and what the law often in fact does. For example, in Thailand, many people Buddhist, and many people think that to be a good Thai person who should be Buddhist, but this conflicts with daily life of Buddhist practice in Thailand: Buddhist teaching is used as an excuse to force people to live the way other people want them to, for example by controlling the sale of alcohol on some days, and making abortion largely illegal for women who are unprepared, unable and unwilling to have, raise and love a child, and this causes stress both because citizens are being abused, but worse because this legally forced abuse by the government is done in the name of a religion that is supposed to be about compassion and understanding, which the law often does not show, even in religious matters.

DeleteI used to experience the office syndrome. When I was in the university, I used computer a lot to create my building project which caused me the pain of my right wrist and the hurt of my shoulder, back, and arms. When I working on my project, I always sitting in front of my computer at least 3-4 hours, and my right wrist move all the time to control mouse. Sometimes my arm was feeling numb which really annoying. Even though nowadays I didn't use a lot of computer, but I can feel the pain in my wrist. I saw many doctors, but no one can treat me. Everyone said that I have to stop using computer, but it is impossible.
