When our desires and wishes can't be fulfilled, whether due to external constraints or because they contradict each other, we become rather frustrated. In this state, we're 'tense', 'stressed' or laden with 'negative energy'. Outwardly, we might appear normal, but if someone were to meddle with us, the results could be rather peculiar, potent, and decidedly unpredictable. The tension, pressure, and pent-up energy within us will be unleashed upon that unfortunate soul... Hence, we generally try to avoid frustration, so that we remain in control, more stable, and react in a predictable manner. Even solid materials can be frustrated!
