It has been noted many times over.  The idea was stated most poignantly by Nietzsche, when he told us that "One must have chaos within oneself to give birth to a shining star."  The stress of the finite is needed to make us realize the infinite.  A life with no concerns, no distractions, creates a lazy and reckless mind.  How could I create what is infinite without the finite?  The stress of a work schedule organizes my mind.  The need to learn new things causes me to read books and become inspired.  Lazy bodies generate lazy minds, so I exercise and I can concentrate better.  My relationships make me question myself, the world, and human nature.  It is most definitive when I am in nature.  I see the end result of billions of years of stressors, of the struggle for survival, and there is no getting around the awe-inspiring beauty that has come about.  Just as the dissonance in music is needed to make the highs all the more climactic, in life there must be lows for there to be highs.  Positives could only ever be interwoven in the same mesh as negatives.  Allow the seemingly finite chaos to mold you into what is infinite.
