Experts claim that stress is a silent killer, disintegrating our bodies and making us ill and unhappy. It is even said to spread from one person to another via the bad vibes which it emits like a poisonous gas! It must be fought, but how to avoid this infectious condition?

Others just have to live with it, suck it up and smile while they do it! If you belong to the segment who have got the spare time to deal with your stress issues the ultimate advice must be following:

To avoid stress DON’T have kids!

Speculation:

The text could also have been a column. As a letter written by a private person it might not be relevant to others than the stressed out writer herself but if written by someone with a say in society it might have promoted others to write a letter to the editor.
