Yes maybe if you talking about pre-stressed concrete. And allowing stress in your personal life is never a good thing (unless you thrive on stress) I’m just guessing here I will guess building:P

"I believe it is a construction term"

I didn't look this up, but I know that buildings have stress factors built in, which allow them to adapt to various environmental circumstances. For instance, when atop a very high building, you may notice that it sways a bit. Same with feeling vibrations on the upper level of a mall, or sitting on a bridge. Scary!

I think that being a civil engineer must be a stressful (!) job . . . many people's lives can ride on your decisions. The recent bridge collapse is just one example.

"Are we born in a state of war?"

If we are not involved in an external conflict with another person then we're trying to resolve some battle within ourselves or if both of those options do not apply then we are at war with nature trying to overcome the elements somehow. It appears to be a neverending struggle and why i've decided that peace is the more ideological state, albeit it takes less effort to be in that realm but we are not designed to remain idle. see Darwin.
