Stress has become a silent enemy that lurks everywhere. Big cities tend to produce one thing above all else: distressed people. Urban life itself sometimes produces tension by simply walking down the street. The bombardment of stimuli can be so high, that anyone would end up stressed.
Our senses also end up being affected by stress. For example, it’s harder for us to distinguish between smells due to environmental contamination. The same thing applies to sounds. In any main street of any city, the levels of noise are so high that we have to increase the volume we use to speak. Also, we usually have to pay more attention in order to be able to hear.
