Measuring the human stress level index

While I was calling up various dealers from Vibration Lab phone amidst the hectic schedule, I came across this magazine on the table called "World 2047". While I was wondering myself how complex and stressful our lives have become, it had an interesting article on measuring human stress in an indexed form and inferring the result. The death of your spouse is considered the most stressful with 100 points while minor traffic rule violation is mere 11.

The article starts with a saying by George Bernard Shaw, "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself" which I find is very true in present world scenario. There is no limit to tension and chaos around us. It is we who have to decide where to draw the line of being insensitive to situations around us. If we go on taking everything on our shoulder we are bound to crumple down. The article claims that homosapiens have never been subjected to as much stress as now. Petty quarrels over a pinch of space and public aggressions should be avoided as much as possible. For, there are indispensable stresses like the natural calamities, taking care of your loved ones, workplace stress, we should liberate our mind for these more critical activities of life.

I thought its a worth circulating article so took a picture of it and uploaded it here. So, why wait.. find your stress index and chances of getting affected.
