Depends how it's used.

"Every task involves constraint
Solve it now without complaint;
There are magic links and chains
Forged to loose our rigid brains;
Structures, strictures, though they bind,
Strangely liberate the mind."

Quoted in "Le Ton Beau de Marot" by Douglas Hofstadter.

I'd attribute this, but I'm quoting from memory, and I've forgotten who it's
by.
