About This Quote

Political stress is always apt to shrink the private arena and attach it on to the public. Stress is a natural reaction that occurs when a person feels threatened or fearful. Stress can be understood as a naturally occurring physiological response to meet a demand placed upon it by an external source. In other words, stress is an organic process that develops from the demands placed upon the individual by his environment. In general, feelings of stress can range from mild to severe and vary widely from person-to-person.
