Relaxation Doesn't Exist

I had a small epiphany today while taking a nice hot shower.

Relaxation does not exist. There is no such thing. What we call relaxation, it is nothing more than the absence of stress. When we're "relaxing", we're doing something that is powerful enough to get our obsessive mind off of our terrible problems. Wether it be a massage, a hot pleasurable shower, watching a TV show that makes you laugh, whatever. Anything that is powerful enough to take our thoughts off the problems that make us miserable is "relaxation". But like I said, relaxation doesn't really exist. It's nothing more than a positive distraction. Almost like a temporary state of denial.
