Victory for Victor Meldrew, as pessimistic people 'live longer' - Telegraph
Quote:
Older people blighted by pessimism and fear for the future are more likely to live longer, according to scientists.
A study, into 40,000 adults across ten years, has found those with low expectations for a “satisfying future” actually led healthier lives.
In contrast, people who were “overly optimistic” about the days ahead had a greater risk of disability or death within ten years.

Sort of crappy.... that is my take on it...
live longer in more in fear and worry....
But...... what about the realists?
Also a wondering thought comes to mind is: ........
is there such a thing as "healthy" pessimism?...
I don't know.... but thought I would share
Be well all.
