Nayan Patidar discusses how stress, like spices, can add flavor to life. While stress may seem bitter at first, it plays an important role in development and survival, forcing actions like fight or flight responses. A small amount of stress can function like medicine by motivating us to accomplish tasks, like writing an essay. Too much stress is unhealthy, but moderate amounts make life less monotonous and allow us to better appreciate calm periods. Stress enhances the enjoyment of positive experiences in life, similar to how bitter flavors like cocoa or vanilla enhance sweet foods and make them more savory.

Semester: 6 Semester Amity University, Rajasthan Stress is the Spice of Life Spices are what we use to add a dash of colour and flavour to our dishes, apart from turning the bland curries and dishes tastier, spices also possess therapeutic value. Thus, we wonder whether stress plays the role of spice in our recipe of life. And a cursory glance at the idea may bring a frown upon your face, "If Stress were o Spice what would it taste like?". If one thinks logically sweet is not it, but bitter if you say then Aha that might just be it. Human beings are biologically programmed to avoid bitter tasting foods, because most of them are toxic or poisonous, but the caveat here is "most of them, not all". And as the saying goes Even poison in moderated amounts functions as medicine In a similar manner stress plays a crucial role in development of any animal, it forces an animal to act (Fight/Flight) for its survival. But then if stress were so "crucial and inevitable"then one may enquire 'why does it have such a bad reputation What makes it different for human beings is their ability to perceive past, present and future, thus now a stressful event in the past or even a possibility of one in the future has the potential to induce stress in the present So now everyone has their own personal supply of medicine which more often than not people partake as food (for thought).Just as having to write this essay could induce stress in some of us, but surprisingly it is also what could get us to actually write it, but then the key here is to understand that: Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safel in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!" But then what if life were all sweet and chocolaty (or vanilla) where does the stress fit in? Well then stress would be the cocoa or vanilla both of which are bitter in taste but mixed with sweetness makes your life less monotonous and lets you profoundly savour the sweetness for a far longer time.
