I came accross this wiki doc and I liked how nicely it stated “When a body is in equilibrium the components of the stress tensor in every point of the body satisfy the equilibrium equations”:

s + F = 0

I think this is one those astonishing analogies between science and psychology. I interpret this almost word for word on a psychological level. “The stress caused by external factors and the forces you apply to endure it should be equal in strength and opposite in direction to achieve “equilibrium” = inner peace.

I could analyze this for hours, especially the parts that are more debatable like, how do you define “equal in strength and opposite in direction” for every occasion?

But I think that the meaning is clear and simple. And whoever has experience of living a life in the real world (everyone?), knows that it’s simply “true”.
