To someone unfamiliar with economics, this answer is likely to be difficult to understand, so I'll try to answer it as simply as possible. I would imagine, however, for you to be asking this question, to have an above average background in economics, but just in case, I'll go through the basic causes of inflation.
Inflation is known to economists as a general, persistent and appreciable rise in the cost of goods and services, and is quantified through the calculation of a consumer price index (CPI).
There are two key types of inflation which are characterised by their causes, which are :
Demand pull-which is simply defined as "too much money chasing too few goods", relating to the level of aggregate demand in the economy and/or the demand for labour(related to cost push) and/or the money supply in the economy. This inflation occurs when there are bottlenecks in supply relative to demand, and thuse prices go up. And,
Cost push, which is related to the cost of factors of production, for example, labour, capital and company regulations.
Given that much of monetary policy (policies which control the supply of money and the availability of credit) hinges upon demand management, demand pull inflation is often the key focus of counter-inflationary policy. This is also because the demand pull effect is easier to manage and more predictable, also being a more recurrent cause of inflation.
The simplest way to answer your question explicitly is to state that, 2-3% inflation is considered to be positive, as it has negligible redistributive and output related ramifications. Furthermore, it is a sign of sustainable growth, suggesting that demand is slightly outstripping supply, and hence, there is still a manageable level of economic activity. In essence, 2-3% inflation is associated with growth and can be managed to the benefit of the macroeconomy.
Furthermore, there are little inherent benefits associated with 0% inflation, when one considers the sizeable input required to balance the demand and supply sides of the economy. The market mechanism is dynamic and subject to a significant multiplicity of factors and hence, it is infeasible to retain this inflation figure.
In Australia, as of September 2009 headline inflation was approximately 3%. This is seen as the maximum threshlod limit of inflation. However, in developing responsible monetary policy, the underlying figure of 3.9% should be considered also.
I hope that answers your question.
I've included quite a bit of extra info here, and I apologise if you were just looking for a concise answer, but saying that, this is the fifth time I've heard this question, so I figured more may look to this in the future. Thanks.

Too much inflation will ruin the economy but small levels of inflation will spur growth. Inflation is very harmful to any economy because it can ruin the economy's development and growth and this is not suppose to be. Inflation is also very harmful to any economy because the people living in that economy might not survive the situation and this is when you see that an economy is affected and if nothing is done to it, it can cause an economy to collapse.
Environmentally unsustainable occurs when there is no balance between social goals and a balanced budget. Environmental deregulation policies and inflation can also be environmentally unsustainable.
The five main economic goals are: 1. Full Employment 2. Stable Prices 3. Economic Growth 4. Balanced Budget 5. Balance-to-Payment Equilibrium

The role of an entrepreneur in generating employment opportunities is simply to do anything that they can in order to spread the word, and make connections with people. In that role, they will be creating opportunities for themselves as well, rather than relying on others.
Another name for constructive boundaries is healthy boundaries. This term is used because these boundaries help establish and maintain positive, respectful, and balanced relationships with others.

balanced force is when things are balanced.
A conservatively managed balanced portfolio should earn approximately the return on the S&P 500 which is a benchmark index that many portfolios are compared against to measure yearly investment gains. While it is impossible to predict gains or losses for a specific year the annual average return on stocks over the past 50 years including dividends and capital appreciation is almost 10 percent.
To break free from screen time addiction and establish healthier habits, individuals can start by setting specific limits on screen use, creating a schedule for screen time, finding alternative activities to engage in, and seeking support from friends or professionals if needed. It's important to be mindful of screen use and prioritize activities that promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being for a more balanced lifestyle.
