I don't know. Just seems that way.

Have you ever eaten out of frustration? You get nauseated but still want 
to go on eating. And once you're sick you get frustrated over the fact 
that you didn't control yourself.

For me it's clear that frustration is nothing curable. You can't even 
call it suffering. You wouldn't want the frustration of not having 
anything to eat to dissapear. It would make you stop searching for food.

I once heared about a happines-pill that made people so happy that they 
got passive all the way. No need to do anything anymore. The ultimate 
weapon (if you count out the point-of-view gun).

Frustration is neccesary. But of course I would prefer the frustration 
of not knowing what car to use to go to my work instead of the 
frustration of not having sight.
