Do you believe that bad people live longer?

I believe happy people live longest, give they aren't stricken with sickness. Studies have proven that being negative and hateful is stressful for you and eventually takes a toll on your health. Also "bad" people have to have an imbalance in their chakras, which can lead to sickness, just my opinion there

I think so because they might be given a chance to have atonement as well as learning of what they did. It's like everyone have the duty (= destiny) in this world which have to be finished.

not at all true.. probably that saying was just for the sinners to have more time to repent or something, but thats not true, well personally i dont believe that. feeling ko bago pa ipanganak alam na din kung kelan ka kukunin eh... bakit ba yung mga holdaper na napapatay diba? happy mylotting!

I don't believe that life is dictated by how good somebody is at all. There is a Law of Evolution in which all living things improves their own strength, and as the centuries have gone by, it is pretty obvious that life-expectancy is a lot more than it used to be. Even as recently as the 1950s people had a shorter life span that what they enjoy in the 21st Century. As a Zen practitioner, I also think that the mind plays a huge part in our healthm and therefore our mortality. If we can maintain a calm and peaceful nature without denial in any way, we could live longer. Zen masters are known to live very long lives in some instances. If we are constantly stressed and worried about situations in our life, then that is going to put pressure on our nervous and immune systems and can shorten our life. _Derek

That saying basically means 'nice guys finish first' which in turn means that bad guys, those who cheat, who are corrupted and what not, stays alive longer.

I don't think that bad people live longer. Most of the people live longer because they do certain good things in their daily routine. If a person do exercise, eat healthy foods and very health conscious, visited doctors regularly then he or she would definitely live longer. If a health conscious person is bad then he will live longer and if a bad person is not health conscious then he would not live longer. Good man but bad habit wouldn't live for a long time. This is as simple as you think about it.

Hi knicnax, similar proverbs are there available in our national language Urdu and also in our native and regional languages. it mean this containing in the sentences of different languages are spoken all over the world. so we can boldly say that are saying contains universal truth. such sayings come in existence after experience of years and could be prove them as a engraved line on the stone. In case, you do not believe it and you argue against it. I will say that your thoughts are basing on your personal experience. But the saying you quoted is saying of majority.

Hi. kincnax. I have heard of this saying. I do believe that it seems like the good may die before the bad in certain cases. But, this is not always true. I have seen many bad people die because they have done something wrong that they should not have done. So, yes, bad people can die quicker as well as the youngest too. When it is time for a person to go, it is time for them to go, when it is in God's will.

Do you also notice that spending, like, for example, 30 minutes with a person you don't like and would like to get rid of quick, feels like hours even decades? While spending,like, 4 hours with a person you really like only feels like minutes. I think that's the same way with "masamang damo" or weeds. It is only our perception that they last longer here on earth compared to pleasant people. But really we all have our different time to go. When it's time it is time. Spiritually though, if it is true in fact that they are the hardest to get rid of, maybe that's because God wants to give them a chance to change before their time is up.

The first things your discussion header reminded was, my girlfriend, lol. She usually says this, when she has to rant about someone who she dislikes. Not that she believes it but, it's like she wants to believe it. I hope you understand, hehe.. Anyways, i don't believe in this. In a way, you could say a few selfish people stay longer but not like the good ones don't.

As far as I am concerned, I do do not want to believe that the bad man can live a longer life. But actually, in our real life we can see that the bad usually live not only a longer life ,but also live a very comfortable life. So I may not believe the world, how can This be?I just know that the bad usually can not live longer in the TV now.

I don't really believe in this saying too- but I have observed it to be quite true. Since many god people have been dying..and the really bad people in the government are still alive and continue doing bad deeds.

Yes,i believe the sentence which you said.The truth told us that the bad persons live longer than good persons.The persons around me shows that the principle is very right for us people in the world

This is a tough question to answer because examples of both sides can be found everywhere. The expression 'the good die young' often comforts some people in that it gives a reason for an unexpected passing. I think each individual has purpose and once they fulfill that purpose, their time here is up. In some mystical way I think there is total fairness to this system and one day we shall all understand it...

lol... bad people live longer in tv dramas. Personally, I feel how long a person lives depends on that individual. It is said that one's lifespan is destined but I think if the person takes good care of his health and live healthily and happily, he is bound to live longer.

I do believe bad people live longer.Because of this I want to die young! Lol. I witnessed this statement from my father in law. I do not know if it is coincidence. But I do have the feeling that God let them live longer for them to have time to repent for their sins.

I think that healthy people live longer. The ones in the provinces that works and eat right should live longer. Bad people die early because they will kill each other. Bad people are hard to kill is more correct. They are harder to kill because they have a great survival and killer instinct. They are more likely have an escape plan than normal people.

Hi there fellow countryman. I dont think this is true though because a lot of gangsters, criminals die very young because they got shot or got killed by another gangster etc. Instead of living their lives until the age 70 or more it just ended at the age of 20. I dont think that dying at the age 20 or 30 is living long.

I think life is not depends on you are bad or good.

Every person was sent to this world to do some tasks such as we do in our lives.if any of you believe in God that you will get agree on what ever i say.You go to your job daily you have to finish you task that your boss gives you when you finish those then you are not needed there you are done you come back to your house.Just like that God has given us some tasks that we have to finish they can be either for us or for other people attached to us.some people follow bad ways and do bad things may be that was in their destiny or they changed the destiny to follow the bad even at that stage that person will have to finish what he is doing. We all are sent to this world with some tasks one day when all those tasks are finished no matter if you are healthy you are strong or what you call Smart you will be done and out of this world.
