In your imagination, would an ascetic live longer or die earlier?

Question

...simply based on the physiological needs and responses to pleasure and pain.

Answer 1

The ascetic will live far longer if they have addressed the fear of being alone. The physiological symptoms that decrease the quality and quantity of life are related to the fear of being alone, rejection and loneliness. Ascetics usually conquer this.

Answer 2

I would have to say the ascetic would die earlier............why i say this is jesus comes to my mind he died very young he was 33 :))

The ascetic struggle they call it the goal of the stuggle is freedom with regard to nature, or an ability to live our existence as a realization of love, so as to reach the truth of a person...Ascetic struggle is a spiritual thing that you remove yourself from the everyday responsives to pleasure and pain like Ghandi, the Buddha and Jesus have done....I am not sure really my guess they die earlier because they want to be with the Divine but look at Mother Teresa she lived a long life and she practiced the ascetic way of being I guess it depends on the person their spirit the vocation on this earth and why they are put here in life :)))

Answer 3

It depends on the person, and since most people don't really understand themselves or why they do things that would lead to me conclude they live shorter lives due to stress and other factors.

Answer 4

Live longer.

Answer 5

live longer i believe.
