Question

Does our conduct influence how long we live?

Answer 1

I would say yes. Someone who lives recklessly, for instance, may put themselves in situations that will end their life quicker than if they were careful.

Answer 2

In some ways yes our conduct does inflience how we live. If you're out there doing drugs, you're going to find yourself in life threatening situations. Or if you live in a bad neightborhood, you will have a better chance of something bad happen. Verses, you put forth the effort to get into a better neighborhood, stay healthy, drug free.

But also, now a days it is so much easier to contract diseases. Babies for example get sick, and some die it's not there fault. Or Cancer, it is unpredicatble. Nothing we can do will prevent it.

Answer 3

In many ways, yes it does. If we are reckless & live a life of risk it most definitely can shorten our life. There are many things that can influence how long we live by what we do or eat or take care of ourselves.

Answer 4

Sadly, no. Some find peace sooner, others live a long, miserable life. Sudden ugly deaths. Lingering illness. The proof is in the babies. Even they get sick--and what have they done to anyone???

Answer 5

I definitely think it does. I'm not going to go out and tempt fate by playing in the middle of the interstate. I would like to stick around for awhile.

If we do unhealthy things it will catch up with us in the end, and speaking of that, it's 4:40 in the morning, I'm going to bed. Goodnight.

Good luck.

Answer 6

Of course it does!

If you exercise, you'll live longer.

If you eat right, you'll live longer.

If you smoke, you'll die earlier.

The list is endless, really.
