Chapter 1607 The Fear of Death

Human patience is limited, and even cultivators cannot avoid this human nature. Therefore, it is unfeasible for Zhao Chaogang to use strength to attract warriors to continuously devote energy to practicing martial arts.

Money, beauty, and power are not feasible, so what is feasible?Soon, Zhao Chaogang found this feasible thing, so what is this thing?

Very simple, this thing is the life span of a person.

People's pursuit of longevity is regardless of gender, some are high and low, some are old and young, whether they are men or women, beggars, or the richest man in the world, their pursuit of longevity is the same.

The reason why people continue to pursue longevity, whether it is an emperor or a beggar, is very simple, and that is the fear of death.

So why do people fear death?In a word: People's fear of death comes from people's weakness to unknown pain.

Because people have never died, and those who have died cannot convey the experience of death, so death is always unknown to people, and people's fear comes from the unknown of things, so whether it is the pain before death or death The last pain is an unknown pain, which leads to the eternal fear of death for human beings.

There are several reasons why people fear death:
1. Survival instinct
Survival is one of the most primitive instincts of our human body. It will tell people with pain when the human body is in crisis, and avoid with fear when life is in danger. These are all signals to avoid life-threatening and notify people to improve the body.Death is naturally the greatest threat to life, which means the end of life, so.The instinct to survive makes people fear death.

2. Fear of "known" and "unknown"

A "known" fear is a feeling of dread as a result of an event that a person sees, hears, or feels. The "unknown" fear is the fear that people have because they don't know what is going to happen and what the outcome of the event will be.Since everything is unknown.So people have a fear of death.

3. The reluctance and unwillingness of life

In the face of death, people have a lot of reluctance to live in real life and unwillingness to realize their ideals, and terminally ill patients are right because of this.Ben has not yet reached the age of end of life, and Ben can still have time to continue to create his own life and realize his own values ​​and ideals, but he has to say goodbye to all of this in the near future.No one wants to face this kind of reluctance and resignation, and no one wants to experience it in person, so they are afraid of death, or more precisely, they don't want to die.

It can be seen that facing death is really a very terrible thing, so many elderly people will choose to avoid it when facing it. For terminally ill elderly people, they are in the cruel torture of three intertwined reasons. They should be understood and helped.

Modern psychologists have discovered that the biggest difference between humans and animals is that.People have a fear of what doesn't exist - and they themselves wonder about it, because they don't know where the fear comes from.It is very meaningful to explore this question, and it can touch the secret channel of the soul more effectively than we can explore a work.

According to the British theologian James--M--S?--De said, "Many fears come from our ignorance of the world in which we live, and from the control of this world over us.", "For To achieve a full life, the first thing we need to do is to gain the power to control fear.".
In the modern world, fear has become more and more powerful to torment us, to the point where no one can escape, the nineteenth-century English poet and essayist Mel-El-Ch said he would ask this question: " Is the universe friendly to humans?" the unanswered question.It bothers many people who think they are smart, and makes people feel the impermanence of the world.

It is precisely because of the finiteness and insignificance of human beings that there is a huge gap compared with the unfathomable depth of the universe and the world.It makes people fear many incomprehensible things.

For example, until today, many people naively believe that the numbers "four" and "thirteen" will bring them bad luck.It can be seen that facing the impermanence of the world.How fragile and helpless people are.

There are also many specific things that are also threatening the survival of human beings.Make people have to fear.

For example, suffering, or mental trauma, is ubiquitous in our lives, not to mention those bloody and dark passages in human history, even now, the mind is impoverished, the emotions are decadent, love is going to suicide, and the noble spirit Withdrawal from secularized life, increased violence, ubiquitous nuclear threat, etc., have pushed humanity to the brink of danger.

This world full of problems is not something that human beings can easily bear.

The "Superman" predicted by Nietzsche was not born, but modern people bear the burden that "Superman" can bear, which is why they fear and despair.

Let us recall the Atlas of classical mythology! He could carry the world on his shoulders and walk on the Atlas mountains on the coast of North Africa, and he did so without effort, because he was Atlas! But, If he puts the world on our shoulders, we will be overwhelmed immediately because we are just human beings and cannot bear the burden.

The same goes for mental issues.

Since the Renaissance, man has been established as the center of the universe and the end of existence, and man begins to be responsible for his own survival. This is like carrying the world on the shoulders of Atlas on the shoulders of man, and will eventually be crushed. collapse. --
People have to pay the price for what they have done, just like the Jewish people had to pay the price of the concentration camp when they killed Jesus the Sal-le. Everyone is paying the price.

The setbacks of existence time and time again have brought the severity of existence to everyone.

In the age of Freud, what human beings encountered was only sexual frustration, but now, it has become the frustration of survival, which is even more serious.

The tragedy may have started like this: as a limited existence, human beings are simply unable to bear everything for themselves.

Now recall the situation when the ancient saints knelt before God and prayed.They can confide all their troubles, pains, and misfortunes to the Supreme One, and they can shed sad tears to Him.What a blessing to be able to entrust the unbearable burden of survival to him!
But.Human beings in the twentieth century have chosen the road of self-responsibility. In this way, when we abandon the sacred belief, who can comfort us except people's self-pity?
When we read Van Gogh's letters to his lover, we will feel that this lonely painter needs love and comfort so much;
The master of Cubist painting, Biga-So, has used the three-dimensional method to paint all his life, abstracting people into some lines and squares, but.He painted his wives and lovers full of humanity, which shows that Picasso hoped to find comfort in the portraits of these lovers;
Floyd said in a letter to his lover: "Little princess, when you come to me, please love me irrationally!" This shows that Freud also longed for comfort in love , It's just that it's terrible for him to say such words.

Freud believed that sex was the ultimate goal of all things, and he did not believe in the existence of love in theory.Because he is a human being, there is an original desire for true love in him.This essence will curse the sex-centered thinking of F-L-I-D.When he said the words "please love me irrationally", the shock he received can probably be described as trembling with fear.

The examples of Van Gogh, Picasso, and Freud-Louis-De point out a common fact: people are separated from themselves, that is, the separation of existence and essence.As Kafka said, what I said was different from what I thought.What I thought was different from what I wanted to think.

The fact of these separations plunged van Gogh, Picasso, Ka-Fka, F-Louy-de, etc. into deep fear and despair, and they could not make themselves what they wanted to be. species of people.

What's more, the cultural environment in which everyone lives seems to be a huge cocoon.Imprison the ego inside.

This cocoon makes people not only unable to communicate with others smoothly, but even alienated from communication with themselves.

One result of the impossibility of communication (not communication in the general sense, but communication between personalities) is that everyone's me becomes a lonely me.Alone, really alone.

Recalling An-Dong-Ni-O-Ni's movie "Big-Big".The whole film is full of camera shutter sounds, almost no dialogue, even the irrational performance scenes of several models, there is no hint of communication, and finally, on the tennis court, a masked figure Playing tennis alone, without opponents, at this moment, the camera keeps zooming out, and the people in the picture keep shrinking until there is an empty court left.

This film, like An-Ton-Ni-O-Ni's other film "Red-Color-Sand-Desert", fully expresses the loneliness, indifference, and empty scene of modern people without communication and comfort.The film masters of the same period, Fei-Li-Ni and Ying-G-Ma Berg-Man, almost all expressed this theme to reveal the common spiritual dilemma of human beings.

Man appears in the artist's field of vision with such a face, which must contain the artist's deep fear of the world and man himself.

"There is no more distressing emotion than fear; fear makes us miserable and makes us miserable in our own eyes," says Boss-Will.

Montaigne said: "Fear is even more abominable and unbearable than death itself." Here, fear means the loss of dignity.

When Ka-fka wrote in the novel "The Hole" that the little animal listened nervously to the movement outside the burrow, he had already reached the abyss of loneliness and fear.

In-Ge-Ma Berg-Man finished filming the famous film "Silence-Silence" in 1962, and said that he discovered an important fact: God is no longer there, and now there is only silence in this world.In the face of this fact, Bergman was terrified.

Afterwards, he told reporters that he finished writing the script "Silence" while listening to Bach's music.

I think Bergerman is using Bach's music to ward off his inner fears.

Let us think back to Coppola's famous film "Apocalypse Now", in which "I" walks on a river that seems to never end, feeling more and more afraid of the facts that I will face.When "I" saw the officer (played by Marlon Bai Lan-do) who was hiding in the forest and refused to fight, fear drove "I" to raise a knife to cut at the officer.I want to use this to relieve my inner pressure, at this time.On the screen, only the officer is writhing in pain in a pool of blood, and his low, desperate cry: "Fear! Fear!" Here, Coppola lets us see how much war has damaged humanity.

Fear, it's deeper than fear.

Fear is faced with a specific object. Fear, like anxiety, may have no specific object and be boundless.

When you are physically attacked (such as a tiger rushing towards you), you will be afraid, but mental damage will produce fear, which will eventually lead to despair.

Fear is present.Fear can be about the future and the unknown.So, how does fear happen? Or, why do people fear?
If a pig is to be killed at night, it can still eat happily at noon, but people cannot do this, because people worry about the future.

Without security in the future, without the happiness of consolation, without communication between personalities, man cannot find the proper place for his own existence.Once he stepped out of the standard of existence.Anything can threaten him.

Without a greater protector and self-unreliability, where does comfort come from? Man has elevated himself to the center of the universe, but he cannot control his own destiny.In the face of such a serious living situation, fear is inevitable
Before inquiring into the causes of fear, let us say what the basic form of fear is.

Fear has many faces.But in general, there are three forms:
[-]. Fear of impersonal things;
[-]. Fear of "non-existence";
[-]. Fear of death.

Perhaps we can think of other forms of fear, but the above three actually cover the vast majority of fear types.

The intensity of the fear also varies.Some are weak, others are strong enough to lead to despair.Some are somewhere in between.

Many modern people have experienced this terrible darkness, and thus issued a philosophy of despair, and fear is said to be characterized by tremors. It shows that people have endured more than they can bear, so that the psychological action has a sense of security, Lost to rely on.

In the face of existential threats, man needs a greater protector.

Why are people afraid of "impersonal things"? The reason is that since everyone's self has become a cocoon and closed between himself and others, he can no longer understand the existence outside himself, he ignores The divine being, no longer imagines perfection in human existence.

In fact, man's own existence is open, and he longs to unite with a higher being to make up for his own shortcomings. Therefore, the East has the idea of ​​"harmony between man and nature", and the West has the idea of ​​"combination of God and man". Inspiration.

The ancient Chinese emphasized that "man" must be united, coordinated, consistent, and harmonious with "heaven", the so-called "towering heaven and earth, praising education", but there is no sacred reality in Chinese thought that corresponds to "heaven", "heaven " seemed very empty, and finally understood "the unity of man and nature" as "the humanization of nature", and the result was "man" instead of "heaven";
"Heaven" in Western thinking is God, Christ, and the life-giving Holy Spirit. "God-man blending" means that the divinity of the Trinity God and the humanity it redeems meet in time. The incarnation of Jesus Christ is the representative, and its ultimate unity is to unite with "heaven" (God) - "new heaven and new earth, new Jerusalem".

Today, in this era of blasphemous materialism, both the East and the West no longer advocate "heaven", but passionately pursue earthly things, and human existence is completely closed to divine existence.

This kind of closedness of existence makes people start to know themselves from a human standpoint, like wearing a blindfold.

As a result, the more modern people know their own humanity, the more they find it difficult to identify and have no connotation, so they start to fear the "impersonal" things of people, and their fear is justified.

This is why the more modern artists want to know people, the less people have a place in their works.

In fact, the ancient Greek saying "Know yourself" originally meant "Remember: you will die!" However, modern people misunderstand this sentence.

An example may illustrate the problem.

A child is often terrified of being left alone in a dark, "impersonal" room, and no one can comfort him.But in Western countries with a Christian tradition, parents would say to their children: "Don't be afraid. Because God is here too."

This is a simple and wonderful truth, because there is a personal, infinite, present, past, future, and eternal God.People who also have personalities no longer need to be afraid of "impersonal" things.

Many psychologists use this method to show the appearance of believing in "God exists" pragmatically, but it can help the sick to some extent.

Carl Jung often told his patients to deal with psychological fears by living all their lives "as if" God existed.

Eight days before Jung's death, in his last interview with a reporter, Jung spoke of what he believed to be God being; "whatever cuts into my will from outside me, or emerges from my collective subconscious. ’ His suggestion was to just call it ‘God’.And surrender to "him".

Why was Jung able to heal many people in this way? Because the existence of God dispels the fear of "impersonal things" in people's hearts, it is too real.

The second basic fear is that of non-existence.

Why are many people today afraid of "non-existence"? Since it does not exist, what can be used to arouse people's fear? Because modern people generally do not know the origin and end of all things, and do not know where they come from They feel at a loss as to what to do, the vagaries of doctrine, and existence itself.

Moreover, most modern people believe that all things, the world, and people are produced by accident and chance, which negates necessity and dominance, and naturally leads to confusion in understanding.

Since everything is accidental.Then everything has infinite possibilities: what exists may become non-existent at one moment, and what does not exist may become existence at another moment. How can there be any sense of security? Existence is also due to Without an immovable foundation, there is no meaning.People are naturally afraid of "non-existence".

The third basic fear is the fear of death.

This fear is the most obvious and most destructive.

"Remember: you are going to die!" is a harsh truth for everyone.Death is so indisputable.

Augustine said: "Everything is uncertain. Only death is certain." The power of death will cancel the meaning of all living people: everyone who lives is dying.Prepare to die, and finally, without exception, enter into the arms of death.

Since I am doomed to die.Moreover, death is beyond my control, it may happen to me at any time, so what is the meaning of my life?
Fear of death is actually a question of the meaning of life, which is the most fundamental problem that puzzles almost all philosophers.There must be too few people who look forward to death as a blessing like Socrates, because what it needs is the courage to dedicate oneself to the truth.

Plato's thought arose out of Socrates' uncompromising death, for Socrates a dialogue with truth—saying the "Tao" (logos)—could make him blind to a certain terrible nature of death, Even when the person in charge of the poison warned Socrates to speak as little as possible, otherwise the poison would take place slowly and he had to take two to three servings, Socrates replied, and prepared poisonous wine, "it might as well be two to three servings." .

Socrates conquered the fear of death, but people in this era have lost their pursuit of the "Tao". What else can he use to resist this fear? Fear means a threat, the threat of time to us , and the self-threat posed by the imperfection of the self, which is related to sin, for "the wages of sin is death."

In Genesis, after Adam ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he was cursed by God: "You must die!" Time sets limits on people.

The threat of time is not only that it will end our life, what is even more frightening is that it may execute this end in a violent way in advance, such as disease and disaster.

Everyone has a longing for infinity and eternity (bearing children and writing books is to extend one's own life), which makes people hope that death will come later, but in fact people are unable to do this , the fear of death arises because it is an uninvited guest who may knock at the door at any time.

Another reason for the fear of death is the inability of man to take responsibility for what he has done in his life.

Man's conscience desires righteousness and holiness.And there is no goodness in the human flesh, and people live in sin.People feel the pain of self-blame for righteousness.Because people cannot face death with their own holy consciousness, the fear of death is actually the fear of judgment after death.

So how can we ease the fear.And gain the power to control fear?
I think the most important thing is that people must realize their own limitations and insufficiencies, so as to maintain awe of the unknown world, instead of hastily viewing themselves as the ultimate, thinking that they can bear everything.

The real situation is that man is placed in a world that he cannot control, and he can no longer break through the cocoon of fear by his own strength. He must admit that man does not survive by himself, and he must believe that there is someone in this world who is more powerful than himself. own greater being.Only when this greater survivor guards human existence, can the meaning of human life be verified, and we can use this to overcome the fear of "impersonal things", "non-existence" and "death".

This fact will become more and more acute, because human beings have come to an extremely fragile situation at the end of the century, and he can no longer find the confidence in himself in previous ages, or in other words, many cruel facts in history have been prove.When human beings lose the guardianship of a greater being, it is possible to become as savage and do whatever they want as animals.

In this situation, it is not surprising that people feel fear, but it is necessary to completely eliminate the fear and anxiety in a person's heart.Unless the man is made a citizen of another world—a citizen of the eternal world.

The world will give him new and more valuable strength, confidence, and courage.He successfully freed him from the world of fear.

It is indeed a secret, said James Reed: "It was in this eternal world that Christ discovered the secret of fearlessness. He knew that neither natural disasters nor human cruelty could touch his life. The things in the eternal world in it. In this eternal world, nothing can be threatened by water and fire, because the power of water and fire can never reach this realm."

Pascal seems to put it more clearly in "Psinses": "True fear comes from belief; false fear comes from doubt. Real fear is accompanied by hope, because it comes from belief, and because people believe in themselves. The God of God is afraid. The former is afraid of losing God, the latter is afraid of finding God.”

Indeed, fear in the ultimate sense is not simply fear, nor is it an emotion. It is related to the origin of our existence. As long as there are people who have a sense of existence, as long as they are unwilling to live, as long as they have not stopped thinking, sooner or later Everyone faces this question because it is so real that it cannot be avoided.

It is precisely because of these fears of death that no matter whether a person is a man or a woman, a beggar or the richest man in the world, their pursuit of longevity is the same.

Taoism regards immortality as the symbol of immortals.

During the Qin Dynasty, Xu Fu, an alchemist, sought the elixir for Qin Shihuang, and went out to sea to find the immortals on the immortal mountains of Penglai and Yingzhou.The results are missing.

In Taoism, there is also a school that specializes in alchemy and medicine (including alchemy), the purpose of which is also to live forever.

There are also immortal immortals in ancient West Asia-Su-Mei-Er myths, West-Fang-Kai-Erth myths, Norse myths, and E-Er-Lan folklore.

The gods of Nor-Wei-myth are likely to die of old age, and the harvest goddess Iden (iðunn) is responsible for taking care of the magic apple that can make the gods live forever.

Not to mention humans, even animals have a very strong primitive desire to survive.

Longevity has always been the yearning of human beings. For this reason, there have been myths and legends about longevity in the world.

There are many myths and legends about immortality. There was once such a rumor that a man named Chisongzi in the Shennong period took a kind of immortality medicine called "Bingyu San", so he could enter the fire without melting. Later, he became the god in charge of praying for rain. The youngest daughter of Emperor Yan followed him and became a fairy.ascended to heaven together.

In the legend of Peng Zu, it is said that Peng Zu lived for 800 years.

Peng Zu is a legendary figure in China.It is said that after living for more than 880 years, his wives married more than 100.Still rosy and refreshed.

His last wife wanted to know the reason, so she said to Peng Zu coquettishly: "Although I am young, my body is not as good as yours. Please tell me the secret of longevity, so that we can live together forever."

Peng Zu looked at his beloved wife who was as beautiful as a flower, and he was happy for a while, so he said: "It's useless to tell you. It was Lord Yan who accidentally tore my name from the life and death book. I made a paper twister, so I have lived until now." .”

In fact, Yama had been paying attention to Peng Zu for a long time, but he couldn't find his name, so he sent two little ghosts to wash charcoal in the river of Peng Zu's village.

Just when Peng Zu's wife went down to the river to wash clothes, she saw two people washing charcoal, and they were still chanting: "Wash black charcoal, wash black charcoal. Wash white black charcoal and sell it for money."

Peng Zu's wife said: "My husband-in-law has lived for eight hundred and eighty years, and he has never heard that black charcoal can wash white."

The two little ghosts refused to believe it, so Peng Zu's wife told the two little ghosts the secret of Peng Zu's longevity.The little ghost immediately reported to the King of Hades, who found the paper twister and sent the ghost to hook Peng Zu away.

The common people are probably also very sorry about this.So a jingle spread: "Peng Zu has lived [-] years, and he can't tell the truth to his wife."

In the "Holy Bible" of Westerners.Ya-dang lived 930 years old, and at the age of 130, he gave birth to his son Se-te.Then lived another 800 years.

His son Se-te had children at the age of 807 and lived to be 912 years old.

Legends are legends after all, and legends are not facts, so immortality has always been just a vague and mysterious thing in the minds of ancient people.

Longevity is the pursuit of almost all nations in the world.

In Chinese history, powerful emperors such as Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi could not avoid seeking immortality and taking panacea for longevity.

Scientists from the Canadian Academy of Sciences in the United States have discovered that people over the age of [-] have a common genetic mutation. Scientists say this discovery will help Find ways to slow down human aging.

Longevity means long life.Human beings can progress infinitely, and human beings are very malleable and transformable.

How old do people live for longevity?According to ancient records, the natural lifespan (day) of a person should be over a hundred years old.Ming Zhang Jiebin's "Leijing? Volume [-]? Health Preservation Class [-]" note: "A hundred years old is roughly the age of the day." As the saying goes, "a hundred years later" refers to death.

In our traditional culture, some interesting longevity names are little known.

Xishou: 77 years old, so called because the cursive script of "Xi" is similar to "77" written vertically.

Mi Shou: 88 years old, so called because the word "mi" happens to be the number "88".

Bai Shou: 99 years old, because the character "Bai" is "bai" and the character "bai" lacks "one", so it is called.

Tea longevity: one hundred and eight years old, because the initials of the word tea are double "ten", adding up is "twenty", the middle "person" is separated to be "eight"; the bottom "wood" is "ten" Adding "eight" is "eighteen".The middle and bottom are connected together to form "88", plus the prefix "twenty", the total is "one hundred and eight", so it is called.

The classic work of traditional Chinese medicine "Su Wen? Ancient Innocence Theory" says: "I heard that people in ancient times lived to a hundred years old in spring and autumn, and their movements did not decline. ... Therefore, those who can live to a hundred years old and their movements do not decline, in order to hope that their virtues will be perfect. Danger."

"Lingshu? Tiannian" says: "The Yellow Emperor said: "The life of a person dies at the age of one hundred, what causes it?... At one hundred years old, the five internal organs are all empty, the spirit and energy are all gone, and the body and bones live alone and die."

"Shangshu? Hong Fan" article says: "Five blessings: one is longevity." Han? Kong Anguo's "Biography" ("Note") says: "One hundred and twenty years."

Tang Kong Yingda and other "Justice" ("Shu") said: "The life span of a person is limited to a hundred years.

There are people with longevity saying "hundred and 20 years", so the "Biography" is said to be the longest, and there may not be a text. "

In addition, the ancients divided the length of life span into upper, middle and lower, but there are different opinions on the specific age.

"Zuo Zhuan? The 32nd Year of Xi Gong" says: "How do you know? Zhongshou, the wood of your tomb is arched."

Tang Kong Yingda and other "Justice" said: "The upper life is 20 years old, the middle life is [-], and the lower life is [-]."

"Health Sutra" says: "Yellow Emperor said: the upper life is one hundred and twenty, the middle life is one hundred years, and the lower life is eighty."

"Zhuangzi? Robber Zhi" says: "A person lives to a hundred years in the upper reaches, eighty in the middle, and sixty in the lower."

"Taiping Jing? Xie Chengcheng Jue" says: "Ordinary people have three lifespans, corresponding to the three qi, the fate of the sun, the sun, and neutralization. The upper life is 120, the middle life is [-], and the lower life is [-]."

"Lu's Spring and Autumn? Meng Dongji Tenth" says: "The life span of a person is no more than a hundred, and the life span is no more than sixty."

It seems that the lower limit of 60 years old as the longevity age is too low. As the minimum age of longevity, 80 years old can be recognized and accepted by many.

There are many Chinese paintings that wish longevity, auspiciousness and health, including Qi Baishi's "Longevity Picture", Wu Changshuo's "Songhe", Zhu Xuanxian's "Longevity", "Shou Tao", Lou Shibai's "Longevity Picture" and so on.

Longevity is the state of life that people have been pursuing, and people are constantly researching and discovering on the road to longevity.It turns out that there are many details in people's lives that are conducive to longevity, and doing more is good for the body.

Longevity is a topic that people are always concerned about.The website of "Times - Times - Weekly - Magazine" in the United States recently published new research on longevity, pointing out more factors that affect life expectancy.

Strong sense of responsibility, longer life.An 8-year study showed that, among various personality traits, conscientiousness is the most conducive to longevity.According to Stanford University researchers, being cautious, patient and planned, and a little obsessive-compulsive like the researchers, all contribute to longevity.Such people are self-conscious and can often make the right choices when it comes to marriage, work, and health. They are less likely to die accidentally due to smoking, racing, or not following doctor's orders.

Diet determines life and death.Researchers have found that the Mediterranean diet, which is rich in fruits and vegetables, nuts and healthy fats such as olive oil, is a longevity-friendly diet.A healthy diet can reduce the risk of heart disease in older adults and even prevent memory loss.

Heredity plays a role.If parents live a long life, their children may not necessarily live a long life, but they will inherit some benefits from their parents.Recently, "British National Medical-Journal-Journal" reported that the reason why some people are less sick may be that certain chemicals such as serotonin and dopamine secreted by the brain are more than ordinary people, which is thanks to genetics .

Educational level affects life expectancy.According to statistics from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people with a bachelor's degree or higher live about 9 years longer than those who did not graduate from high school.Rand--De--Smith, the company's health economist, said that people with higher education are more likely to find good jobs, so that they can make long-term plans for their lives and choose healthier lifestyles.

Work hard and live long.It is often said that stress hurts the body, but hard work does not mean that it will hurt the body.New research finds that people who work hard, work hard (even in retirement), enjoy it, are not miserable, but are happier, healthier and have closer social relationships than their passive-working counterparts.

The mind affects the body.One study tested people who participated in a three-month meditation retreat and found that the activity of cellular telomerase in their bodies increased by about 30% on average compared with the control group.

Being too optimistic is not good for health preservation.Cheerful, the impression is usually carefree, less stress, seems to be healthier.However, the researchers pointed out that "optimistic thinking" does not necessarily lead to longevity. If a person is too optimistic, especially in the face of illness or recovery, it is easy to ignore the risks involved.

Longevity is inseparable from social interaction.Women tend to have wider social networks, which is one reason women live longer than men.Seeking care from friends, family members, units, and society can help you decompress yourself and even improve your immune function.

Sitting for a long time will reduce life expectancy the most.One study found that after the age of 25, each additional hour of TV watching (sitting) subtracted 1 minutes from expected overall longevity. (To be continued..)
